NCDOT Benefit/cost Analysis for Planning Highway Projects
Evaluating the economic feasibility of highway projects can be a time consuming and difficult process. Over time and a variety of projects, analysts may use inconsistent methods and data with the result that similar projects cannot be compared with respect to their relative costs and benefits. To rectify these problems the North Carolina Department of Transportation supported this effort to develop a tool that will provide consistent estimates of the costs and benefits for various highway projects. The tool developed by this effort applies concepts from the AASHTO Redbook and a customized version of the Redbook Wizard spreadsheet. The final report documents the project, provides a user manual, and develops case study applications for several types of highway projects.
Benchmarking for North Carolina Public Transportation Systems
The North Carolina Department of Transportation, Public Transportation Division (NCDOT/PTD) requested recommendations for a benchmarking process for public transportation systems. The project was aimed at providing three primary products: 1. A set of selected benchmarks for public transit systems, particularly efficiency and effectiveness benchmarks that are commonly used by other transit systems and funding agencies, and including benchmarks that specifically relate to important customer satisfaction factors identified as part of the study. 2. A recommended benchmarking process and Guidebook that can be used by public transit systems in North Carolina to measure their performance and to then institute steps to improve any areas of low performance. 3. A set of minimum statewide standards that would be used by NCDOT/PTD to provide incentives and disincentives that would encourage public transit systems to steadily improve performance.
Transportation Information Needs Assessment for Small Rural Municipalities in Eastern North Carolina
The many small towns in North Carolina (1,000 residents or fewer) face a number of disadvantages and unique problems when trying to address their transportation-related needs. This project addressed these problems in two primary ways. First, the authors developed a resource containing basic contact information along with census data regarding demographic, economic, and social characteristics of each town. Second, a mail survey was sent to all of the towns to determine the mayors' satisfaction with NCDOT. Regional meetings were then held with the mayors to gain a deeper understanding of their experiences.
