Title: INTERNATIONAL TRANSIT STUDIES PROGRAM: REPORT ON THE FIRST THREE MISSIONS
Accession Number: 00737941
Record Type: Monograph
Abstract: This digest summarizes the first three missions performed under TCRP Project J-3, "International Transit Studies Program" (ITSP). Included in the digest are information on the cities visited, summaries of topics investigated, and discussions of policies and practices that could be used in the United States. The project is administered by the Eno Transportation Foundation, Inc. The ITSP is designed to assist in the professional development of transit managers, public officials, planners, and others charged with public transportation responsibilities in the United States. The program accomplishes this objective by providing opportunities for participants to learn from foreign experience while expanding their network of domestic and international contacts for addressing public transportation problems and issues. The program arranges study missions where teams of public transportation professionals visit transit operations in other countries. The ITSP also provides financial assistance to enable individuals engaged in U.S. public transportation management, operations, planning, or research to participate in international conferences and meetings held outside North America. The first three missions were as follows: Enhancing the Attractiveness of Public Transit: Mission 1, September 9-25, 1994; Innovative Roles for Transit in Creating Livable Communities: Mission 2, May 18-June 4, 1995; and High-Tech Solutions to Transit Problems: Mission 3, November 1-18, 1995.
