Tools for a Smoother Ride: Managing Rail Assets and Leveraging Competition
When: 4:00pm ET, Tuesday, June 5, 2018
Where: Via webinar
Public transit is in a maintenance crisis. Deferred maintenance, decreased reliability, and declining ridership are necessitating increases in budgets for rehabs and repairs. But the real overhaul needs to be in how public agencies conduct their asset management and maintenance programs. Eno’s new paper, “Tools for a Smoother Ride: Managing Rail Assets and Leveraging Competition,” found a consensus among public and private transit stakeholders that current rail maintenance practices are inadequate to meet today’s challenges. Agencies must start by creating a culture of prioritizing maintenance through effective asset management, and carefully explore alternatives with the private sector to bring more accountability and transparency. This webinar discussed the paper’s recommendations.

Congestion Pricing in NYC and Beyond

Several cities around the world charge fees for driving in high traffic areas at the busiest times of day. But while these “congestion pricing” systems have worked elsewhere, no American city has attempted it. New York has come the closest and while there was optimism that city would put a such a charge in place, last month the state scuttled the idea. Transportation experts and advocates across the country are now wondering, what’s next? On May 3, 2018, Kate Slevin, Vice President of State Programs and Advocacy at the Regional Plan Association, joined the Eno Center for Transportation for a webinar discussion on congestion pricing, where the program stands in New York, and what similar initiatives in other cities around the country could mean for the future of transportation.
