support increased taxes at the gas pump,
but only if the revenue is invested
in specific transportation improvements that people value, states a newly
released research report from the Mineta
Transportation Institute (MTI), the sixth
in an annual series.
According to the report, What Do
Americans Think About Federal Tax Options
to Support Public Transit, Highways, and
Local Streets and Roads?, 71 percent of
respondents would support a 10-cent-­
per-gallon fuel tax increase to “improve
road maintenance” and 31 percent
would ­support such an increase for
­general maintenance and improvement.
MTI has conducted similar surveys
annually since 2010. Looking across the
six years of survey data, support for all
the taxes has risen modestly since 2010.
From 2014-2015, support increased for
nine tax options.
The full report provides in-depth
analysis of results. Go to http://trans
web.sjsu.edu/project/1428.html to see
the report.

Three recently released reports of interest to public transportation professionals consider issues of value capture,
how organizations can use “big data”
to improve their operations and the
role of ridership alternatives such as
ridesharing or bike commuting in a

Deloitte University Press, an imprint
of Deloitte Development LLC, released
findings from its “Smart Mobility” study
regarding the impact of ridesharing, bike
commuting, carsharing and on-demand
ride services on mobility in U.S. cities.
By analyzing commuter behavior
data at the census-tract level, researchers
propose that real-time ridesharing could
annually save $30.3 billion, reduce traffic accidents by almost 23,000 and lower
carbon dioxide emissions by 9.1 million
metric tons.

The Urban Transportation Center
at the University of Illinois at Chicago
released Transit Value Capture Coordination: Case Studies, Best Practices and Recommendations, which examines how U.S.
cities with the largest and oldest public
transportation systems can deal with a
backlog of underfunded capital projects
by using value capture methods: securing partial funding through additional
taxes or grants from commercial property developers.
The report is available at https://utc.
uic.edu/.
Big Data and Transport: Understanding and assessing options, released by the
European-based International Transport
Forum (ITF), considers the impact of
massive, often real-time data sets that
can generate insights and improvements
for transportation services and activity.
