This TCRP Digest summarizes the mission performed October 20 - November 5, 2005, under TCRP Project J-3 'International Transit Studies Program'. The digest provides an overview of the mission that investigated innovative techniques in the planning and financing of public transportation projects in four major cities in Europe and Asia: Barcelona, Spain; Copenhagen, Denmark; Shanghai, China; and Osaka, Japan. This digest includes background information about each of the four cities visited, characteristics of their public transportation offerings, as well as planning and financing arrangements that support public transportation in the cities. The study indicates that European and Asian public transportation officials have readily pursued innovative transit planning and financing solutions that involve private companies. |
