The economies of Bangladesh and India are driven by fast-growing
bilateral trade. This study examines some of the key bottlenecks to
trade on land between Dhaka and Kolkata, and provides
recommendations on how to address them. The efficient movement of
goods between the two countries is essential to their economic
growth. However, inefficient procedures at land crossings, paired
with infrastructure constraints on both sides of the border,
inflate the time and costs of conducting trade. Reducing traffic
congestion along the major routes, and improving facilities and
clearance procedures at the border crossings can significantly
improve trade between Bangladesh and India, and contribute to more
robust economic growth across the South Asia Subregional Economic
Cooperation zone as a whole.

This study of financial technology (fintech) loans to tricycle
drivers in the Philippines looks at how fintech affects the welfare
of the self-employed and contributes to the development of the
country's local economies. The results highlight the importance of
fintech for the self-employed in adapting to the "new normal" after
the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The Asia Small and Medium-Sized
Enterprise Monitor (ASM) is a key resource for policy makers
working on micro, small, and medium-sized enterprise development in
Asia and the Pacific.
The Model Regulations cover the classification of dangerous goods
and their listing, the use, construction, testing and approval of
packagings and portable tanks, and the consignment procedures
(marking, labelling, placarding and documentation). They aim at
ensuring a high level of safety by preventing accidents to persons
and property and damage to the environment during transport and,
providing at the same time, a uniform regulatory framework which
can be applied worldwide for national or international transport by
any mode.

A mileage-based road user charge would involve assessing owners of
individual vehicles on a per-mile basis for the distance the
vehicle is driven. Currently, federal highway and public
transportation programs are funded mainly by motor fuel tax
receipts that flow into the Highway Trust Fund (HTF). The tax
rates, set on a per-gallon basis, have not been raised since 1993,
and receipts have been insufficient to support the transportation
programs authorised by Congress since FY2008. The long-term
viability of motor fuels taxes is also questionable because of
increasing vehicle fuel efficiency and the wider use of electric
vehicles. Economists have favored the use of mileage-based user
charges as an alternative to motor fuels taxes to support highway
funding. This book examines considerations and viability of road
user charges based on mileage.
London Transport was created in 1933 to coordinate the shambolic,
overlapping transport systems of the capital, and for decades has
striven to meet the challenges of organising London travel. Now
operating as Transport for London (TfL), it continues this
demanding work. In this fully illustrated volume, Michael H. C.
Baker presents the complete story of the organisation from its
origins, through the upheavals of the Second World War, to TfL's
biggest modern project - Crossrail. Covering modes of transport
including trams, trolleybuses, the iconic RT and Routemaster buses
and the trains of the Underground, this is an essential guide to
London's world-famous transport operator.
For centuries, Somerset depended on its harbours and rivers as its
lifeblood. This is the story of the county's ports, pills and
waterways - the unique vessels and the skilled men that used them,
the cargoes they carried and the day-to-day practicalities of their
lives. Over 2,000 years of history is explored in this illustrated
volume, from the earliest waterborne activity right up to the
present day and the enduring preservation, restoration and
new-build legacy. Encompassing the whole of the Somerset coast,
with detailed explorations of the ports, the vessels and their
owners, skippers and crews, and the evolution of the inland
distribution process, Any Muddy Bottom presents a comprehensive and
vivid portrait of the county's remarkable shipping heritage.
Policymakers at all levels of government are debating a wide range
of options for addressing the nation's faltering economic
conditions. One option that is once again receiving attention is
accelerated investments in the nation's public infrastructure -
that is, highways, mass transit, airports, water supply and
wastewater, and other facilities - in order to create jobs while
also promoting long-term economic growth. This book discusses
policy issues associated with using infrastructure as a mechanism
to benefit economic recovery. Discussed are the roles of
infrastructure investment in economic growth generally and in
contributing to bolstering a faltering economy. Key issues include
the potential role of traditional and "green" infrastructure in
creating jobs, timing and setting priorities.
