The study was undertaken to determine the effects of various reduced fare programs on transit ridership. A listing of all reduced fare programs in North America is provided. The concept of fare elasticity was defined and determined for the various programs. Empirical evidence was obtained and analyzed from senior citizen programs, reduced base fare

Ramp metering is a means of controlling the flow of traffic entering a freeway to improve freeway and merging operations. Most studies in freeway control have involved large sections of freeway with many ramps. The control systems have usually been traffic responsive, traffic actuated, and system coordinated. The results have been cost effective in

One of the most important needs in a pavement design program is for an established relationship between pavement distress and pavement performance. Many mechanistic models have been developed for use in the prediction of stresses, strains, deflections, etc., but these models provide no way to predict the performance of a pavement.

Similar mineralogy and textures exist in the basaltic rock studied from four quarries in the Nestucca River area of northwestern Oregon. However, durability of the aggregates manufactured from these quarries differs greatly. This study, done by petrographic and X-ray analysis shows that no new minerals form during degradation.

The need for developing a method to account for variations and uncertainties of factors in pavement design was recognized by the FHWA-HRB Advisory Committee of the "Workshop on the Structural Design of Asphalt-Concrete Pavement Systems" in 1970 as one of the most pressing problems facing pavement engineers. A first step in the solution of the probl
