| Abstract | Suburban mobility is one of the most critical transportation problems facing American cities today. The purpose of this research project is to develop an understanding of the suburban activity center (SAC) mobility problems and the ways that public and private entities are addressing these problems. The project has two objectives: 1. Develop a data base on suburban activity centers and CBDs which documents characteristics of the centers, their mobility needs, transportation actions, and identifies the local private and public organizational and financing arrangements used to implement these actions. 2. Develop the basis for identifying potential roles that the Urban Mass Transportation Administration, state and local governments, transit agencies and the private sector can assume in the financing, management, and the negotiation of agreements to solve mobility needs of suburban activity centers. This was accomplished using several methods. It included a systematic review of the literature and practice, empirical research of a large number of cases to explore broad relationships, and field studies of selected cases for more in-depth analysis. |
