Framework and tools for estimating benefits of specific freight network investments / by National Research Council (U.S.).Transportation Research Board.(CARDINAL)141287; National Cooperative Freight Research Program.(CARDINAL)308674; United States.Department of Transportation.Research and Innovative Technology Administration.(CARDINAL)308673; Cambridge Systematics.(CARDINAL)157647;
Performed by Cambridge Systematics, Inc. and others under projectIncludes bibliographical references (page 118)."This report provides a comprehensive analytical framework and related tools that private-sector freight transportation modes and public-sector transportation interests can use to estimate private and public benefits to evaluate potential freight infrastructure investments. Using interviews with transportation planners and an extensive review of prior research and a review of current methods used to assess freight benefits or prioritize improvement projects, the research developed a freight evaluation framework with three main functions: (1) to enhance public planning and decision-making processes regarding freight; (2) to supplement benefit/cost assessment with distributional impact measures; and (3) to advance public-private cooperation. The framework is capable of handling projects that span all of the different modes and able to assess benefits from a variety of project types, including those that improve freight operations, as well as generate more capacity through infrastructure expansion. The research, by developing a practical set of formats for information collection, will support public-private agency discussions by helping all parties understand the wide range of perspectives and interests in potential freight investments."--pub. desc.

Dennis -- Local partnerships with government / Eve Endicott and contributors -- Financing open space and landscape protection : a sampler of state and local techniques / Phyllis Myers for the Trust for Public Land -- Direct funding of nonprofit land protection : a new genre of state land conservation programs / Phyllis Myers for the Land Trust Alliance.During the 1980s, the cooperative effort between government agencies and private conservation organizations exploded into a nationwide movement. Today, a significant land acquisition is rarely accomplished without at least one private and one public sector participant. This book presents a detailed, inside look at public/private partnerships. Through in-depth case studies written by participants in land-saving projects, this book provides valuable insight into when and why partnerships are necessary, what these partnerships can accomplish, and how to arrange and manage them effectively.Land Conservation Through Public/Private Partnerships demonstrates the broad array of circumstances under which cooperation between the public and private sectors can significantly improve land conservation efforts. This book is essential reading for anyone concerned with the preservation of our rapidly diminishing open landscapes.The book covers each type of public/private organization - nonprofit, federal agency, or state and local government - with case studies that detail the partnerships which specific groups have formed. Examples of participating organizations include The Nature Conservancy, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the North American Waterfowl Management Plan, and the states of Rhode Island and New York. A final section explores the financial arrangements that make these programs work.
