Other steps could be a nationally coordinated program of car pooling, ride shares, more mass transit and incentives for future communities to be planned around transit efficiency.
Practical applications include the assessment of a) bottlenecks, b) public transit efficiency, c) accessibility of amenities, d) quality of service of public transport and the traffic network, as well as e) the stress level and exhaustion of pedestrians.
Washington can create real jobs and real prosperity by dedicating our resources to meet transportation needs without an increase of crude flowing into the state--transit, efficiency, conservation, walkable communities, electric car manufacture, all are viable options that keep jobs at home and support responsible development.
Findings have broader implications for improving transit system efficiency and quality of service across the spectrum of transit users.
This study addresses efforts to comb the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to deliver a robust enhanced DEA model for transit operator efficiency assessment.
Meanwhile, jurisdictions using the cap-and-trade approach like California, the nine Northeastern states and Quebec are investing the revenue generated by auctioning emission permits in mass transit, energy efficiency, renewable energy and other strategies to reduce carbon emissions.
There will be plenty of jobs if our political leaders exhibit the political courage to invest in our roads, bridges, ports, mass transit, energy efficiency and water supply.
With community-based solar, wind, tidal, geothermal, mass transit, increased efficiency and conservation, we can and must build a sustainable economy that will create jobs and geo-political stability.
The Senate stimulus package calls for billions of dollars of investment in renewable energy, public transit, energy efficiency, and weatherizing people's homes so household utility bills go down for years to come.
The revenue was designed to be directed toward projects accelerating the state's shift away from fossil fuels, including expanding public transit, energy-efficiency retrofits for big buildings and new wind- and solar-powered plants.
Oil exports and energy taxes also subsidize mass transit and energy efficiency, keeping bills low for Danish consumers.
