Despite the success achieved by Public Bicycle Sharing Systems (PBSS) across the world, several researchers provide evidence on their limitations and constraints in a medium-long term, and bicycle ownership may be considered as a complementary tool to promote a 'bicycle-culture'. This paper aims...

As urbanized areas have grown across the United States, roads have quickly developed with them. Yet many cities have developed this infrastructure at the cost of failing to adequately fund urban mass transit, in spite of the important services it provides for the poor, commuters, and the...

Many cities around the world have introduced paid parking but implicitly subsidize parking for example by providing residential parking permits for street parking. We study the welfare effects of residential parking subsidies through changes in car ownership for Amsterdam. We employ a...

Estimating transport sector revenues and expenditures by mode and volume is essential for policy analysis by transport agencies as well as state and Commonwealth treasuries. This paper outlines the methodology used to compile a transport revenue and expenditure model (TREM) for Australia,...

For the last decade the Transport and Logistics Centre (TALC) has been facilitating, designing, developing and trialling various national, State and local programmes in the field of capability building in transport and logistics. From the experiences of TALC has emerged an innovative approach to...

Chancellor Philip Hammond has been urged to increase government infrastructure spending to counteract any economic slowdown (demand management) and to improve the productive potential of the economy (supplyside reform). Yet the ‘Keynesian’ function of infrastructure spending ignores the...

This paper offers a stylized model in which an agency is in charge of investing in road capacity and maintain it but cannot use the capital market so that the only sources of funds are the toll revenues. We call this the strict self-financing constraint in opposition to the traditional self...

Few studies have specifically focused on the uncertainty of demand forecasting despite the fact that uncertainty is the one of greatest risks for governments and private partners in PPP projects. This study presents a methodology for finding robust contract conditions considering uncertainty in...
