Abstract
  • As urbanized regions progressively densify and congested roadways continue to reduce vehicular mobility, identifying and securing funding for dedicated rights-of-way for public transportation projects will become increasingly contentious and costly for local governments and transit agencies, but equally essential. However, in most urban and suburban regions, accessible and unobstructed Greenfield rights-of-way (ROW) corridors are already scarce, especially between heavily populated areas containing the potential for high trip generation. Recognizing these limitations, this research analyzes the feasibility of siting and operating public transportation in active utility rights-of-way.
