| Abstract | The report is designed to make the literature on transportation concerning promising new transit technology more accessible to users. The Transit Technology Evaluation Program investigates the technical, social, and economic factors involved in the planning and operation of promising new transit technologies through studies in four basic areas: Assessments of operational systems to compile information on the performance, technical, and economic characteristics; Cost analyses including capital, operating and maintenance costs, as well as life cycle costing and cost trends; Market research to ascertain the nature and magnitude of the potential market for technology deployment; Impacts investigation to determine how the technology will affect users and the surrounding community with regard to aesthetic, environmental, and social issues |
