Item Feasibility of Bus Rapid Transit Within the Mid-Atlantic Region(2009-08-18T20:18:47Z) Scott, Marcia; DeCoursey, William J.; Franzen, ToddIs bus rapid transit (BRT) a viable transit option in Delaware? Findings of IPA research indicate that a regional BRT system is indeed worthy of further consideration. An assessment of domestic BRT systems and operations reveal substantial progress towards solidifying the position of BRT as a viable transit mode. The strength of the mode lies in its ability to develop incrementally, respond to regional mobility needs, adjust to budget constraints, and its potential to attract choice riders for a relatively low capital cost.Item Scoping Out Delaware's Role Role in Facilitating Business Travel as it Relates to the Wilmington Redevelopment Area, Wilmington Train Station, and New Castle County Airport(2009-11-20T20:57:58Z) Franzen, Todd; Anderka, Sebastian; O'Donnell, EdwardIf the Wilmington Redevelopment Area is to continue as an economic engine for job growth, a growing source of tax revenue, and a marketable residential area, travel access is critical. The Institute for Public Administration (IPA) is completing a project to study how to best facilitate travel access to the Wilmington Redevelopment Area by regional rail and air. Specifically, the project is studying how to maximize business travel to the Wilmington Redevelopment Area via the New Castle County Airport and Wilmington Train Station—via north/south Amtrak trains and the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) R2 train route from Newark to Philadelphia).
