This report documents work performed under FTA's Advance Public Transportation Systems (APTS) Program, a program structured to undertake research and development of innovative applications of advanced navigation, information, and communication technologies that most benefit public transportation. This report presents the results of an analysis conducted by the Volpe Center, for the FTA, to provide an "order-of-magnitude" estimate of the expected benefits to the transit industry with the application of APTS technologies. Specifically, the study identified and quantified the major benefits derived from current applications of APTS technologies within the transit industry and projected current APTS benefits to a national level based on forecasts and reasonable assumptions on the potential future applications of such technologies within the transit industry

Just like we don't pay to use elevators, this book argues that we shouldn't pay to ride public transit. In an age of increasing inequalities and ecological crisis, movements advocating free public transit push us to rethink the status quo and consider urban transit as a fundamental human right. Editors Jason Prince and Judith Dellheim have collected a panorama of case studies from around the world: the United States, Canada, Estonia, Greece, France, Italy, Sweden, Poland, China, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, and more. These movements are spread across the world, and they aim to achieve two main outcomes-ecological good and fair wealth distribution. Free public transit-coupled with increased capacity and improving service of public transit-might well be the only viable strategy to eliminating car usage and achieving greenhouse gas targets in industrialized cities within a reasonable timeframe. Movements for free mass transit also aim to see public transit treated as a public good, like water and garbage service, that should be paid for out of general tax revenues or a fairer regional tax strategy. This book covers the rapidly changing transport options in cities today, including bike and car share options, Uber and Lyft, and the imminent arrival of driver-less vehicles. The first English-language book ever written on the subject, Free Public Transit is a ground breaking book for those concerned about the future of our cities and an essential resource for those who make, or try to change, urban planning and transport policies.

Public transit is a powerful tool for addressing a huge range of urban problems, including traffic congestion and economic development as well as climate change. But while many people support transit in the abstract, it's often hard to channel that support into good transit investments. Part of the problem is that transit debates attract many kinds of experts, who often talk past each other. Ordinary people listen to a little of this and decide that transit is impossible to figure out. Jarrett Walker believes that transit can be simple, if we focus first on the underlying geometry that all transit technologies share. In Human Transit, Walker supplies the basic tools, the critical questions, and the means to make smarter decisions about designing and implementing transit services. Human Transit explains the fundamental geometry of transit that shapes successful systems; the process for fitting technology to a particular community; and the local choices that lead to transit-friendly development. Whether you are in the field or simply a concerned citizen, here is an accessible guide to achieving successful public transit that will enrich any community.

Introduction: The Importance of Public Transportation What is public transportation (PubTran)? The role of public transportation in urban life. Global significance of public transit for sustainability, mobility, and reducing congestion. Chapter 1: The Evolution of Public Transportation The early days of public transportation: Horse-drawn carriages, trams, and buses. The industrial revolution’s impact on public transit. Growth of cities and the increasing demand for efficient public transport systems. Major milestones in public transportation history (e.g., first subways, buses, trams). Chapter 2: Different Modes of Public Transportation Buses: The backbone of many urban transit systems. Trains/Subways: Rapid transit in metropolitan areas.

"A History of Public Transportation" explores the fascinating evolution of shared mobility, from ancient ferries and stagecoaches to modern subways and high-speed rail. The book delves into the technological innovations that propelled each era of transit, including the omnibus revolution, the rise of steam and electric railways, the ingenious cable car, and the adaptable motor bus. It also examines the crucial interplay between transit and urban development, tracing how these systems shaped cities, fostered suburban growth, and influenced social interactions. Key themes include the constant tension between private enterprise and public service, the challenges of funding and regulation, and the ongoing efforts to make transit accessible and equitable for all. The narrative traces the growth, decline, and resurgence of various modes, from the heyday of the streetcar to the rise of the automobile and the resulting challenges for traditional transit. The book explores how world wars and economic depressions impacted these systems, and details the shift towards public ownership and subsidy. It also covers more recent developments like the light rail renaissance, the high-speed rail phenomenon, and the rise of Bus Rapid Transit. Finally, "A History of Public Transportation" examines how technology is transforming transit through innovations in ticketing, real-time information systems, and operational management. It concludes by looking towards a future of sustainable mobility, exploring green technologies like battery-electric buses and fuel cells, the integration of new services like ride-hailing and micromobility, and the potential of autonomous vehicles. This comprehensive history provides valuable context for understanding the challenges and opportunities facing public transport in the 21st century.
