This report reflects the changes in the South Asia Subregional
Economic Cooperation (SASEC) Program's operational plan for the
period 2016-2025, in particular on priority projects resulting from
a rigorous vetting process. This involves defining SASEC transport
and energy networks and identifying priority projects based on
preparedness and their roles in filling network gaps. The result is
a more reasonable estimate of funding needs to help meet the SASEC
Program's goals of multimodal connectivity, energy market
development, and increased intraregional and interregional trade.
Slow Cities: Conquering Our Speed Addiction for Health and
Sustainability demonstrates, counterintuitively, that reducing the
speed of travel within cities saves time for residents and creates
more sustainable, liveable, prosperous and healthy environments.
This book examines the ways individuals and societies became
dependent on transport modes that required investment in speed.
Using research from multiple disciplinary perspectives, the book
demonstrates ways in which human, economic and environmental health
are improved with a slowing of city transport. It identifies
effective methods, strategies and policies for decreasing the speed
of motorised traffic and encouraging a modal shift to walking,
cycling and public transport. This book also offers a holistic
assessment of the impact of speed on daily behaviours and life
choices, and shows how a move to slow down will - perhaps
surprisingly - increase accessibility to the city services and
activities that support healthy, sustainable lives and cities.
Cambodia's transport sector plays a critical role in the country's
economic development by supporting growth in key sectors such as
agriculture, tourism, manufacturing, and construction. This
publication examines Cambodia's transport sector performance, major
development constraints, and the government's strategy and plans.
It also reflects on lessons learned from past ADB assistance and
identifies potential areas for future support, including knowledge
initiatives and investments. The publication serves as a basis for
further dialogue on how ADB and the government can collaborate to
effectively develop the transport sector in the coming years.
The Evolving Impacts of ICT on Activities and Travel Behavior,
Volume Three in the Advances in Transport Policy and Planning
series, assesses both successful and unsuccessful practices and
policies from around the world on the topic. This new volume
highlights ICT as a Resilient Travel Behavior Alternative; The
Past, Present and Future of Travel Time Use; The Intersection of
Transportation and Telecommunications in Demand Forecasting and
Traffic Management; International Journey Planning System to
Welcoming MaaS; An Empirical Analysis of the Relationship Between
Mobile Internet Usage and Activity-Travel Behavior; Travel Time
Perception and Time Use in an Era of Automated Driving, and more.
Chapter 1 examines the implementation of certain Coast Guard
programs, including those involving performance monitoring, the
Services Capital Investment Plan, and commercial fishing vessel
safety. Chapter 2 discusses Coast Guard and maritime transportation
programs. Chapter 3 reviews the fiscal year 2019 budget request for
the Coast Guard and maritime transportation programs.
Established by Congress as an amendment to the Clean Air Act, the
Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) mandates that U.S. transportation
fuel contain a minimum volume of renewable fuel. The mandated
minimum volume increases annually and must be met using both
conventional biofuel (e.g., cornstarch ethanol) and advanced
biofuel (e.g., cellulosic ethanol). For a renewable fuel to be
applied toward the mandate, it must be used for certain purposes
(transportation fuel, jet fuel, or heating oil) and meet certain
environmental and biomass feedstock criteria.
Regulation 261/2004 on Air Passengers' Rights has been amongst the
most high-profile pieces of EU secondary legislation of the past
years, generating controversial judgments of the Court of Justice,
from C-344/04 ex parte IATA to C-402/07 Sturgeon. The Regulation
has led to equally challenging decisions across the Member States,
ranging from judicial enthusiasm for passenger rights to domestic
courts holding that a Regulation could not be relied upon by an
individual claimant or even threatening outright to refuse to apply
its provisions. The economic stakes are significant for passengers
and airlines alike, and despite the European Commission's recent
publication of reform proposals, controversies appear far from
settled. At the same time the Regulation should, according to the
Treaty, have uniform, direct and general application in all the
Member States of the Union. How, then, can this diversity be
explained? What implications do the diverging national
interpretations have for the EU's regulatory strategy at large?
This book brings together leading experts in the field to present a
series of case studies from 15 different Member States as well as
the extra-territorial application of Regulation 261, combined with
high-level analysis from the perspectives of Aviation law and EU
law.
Title 49 presents regulations governing research and special
programs administration, railroads, highways, vessel cargo
containers, traffic safety, surface transportation, transit
administration, transportation safety, etc. Additions and revisions
to this section of the code are posted annually by October.
Publication follows within six months.
