Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Report 95: Traveler Response to Transportation System Changes, Chapter 17 - Transit-Oriented Development explores the transit-oriented development (TOD) land use strategy and its transportation impacts in terms of regional context, land use mix, and primary transit mode. This report is part of TCRP’s Traveler Response to Transportation System Changes Handbook series. The objective of the Handbook is to equip members of the transportation profession with a comprehensive, readily accessible, interpretive documentation of results and experience obtained across the United States and elsewhere. 
The Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Innovative Finance Quarterly newsletter features the latest information in Innovative Finance such as project highlights, SIB updates, legislative briefings, and more. Cambridge Systematics has been the managing editor of the newsletter since it was launched in 1996.
The California High-Speed Rail Authority (CAHSRA), working in partnership with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), is developing a statewide model to support the evaluation of high-speed rail alternatives throughout the State of California. The proposed system, with bullet trains operating at speeds of up to 220 mph, would provide service from San Francisco, Oakland, and Sacramento in the north, through the Central Valley, to Los Angeles and San Diego in the south. This work will be used to develop a new Financing Plan for the CAHSRA and also will be used to support future planning activities of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Three draft reports which provide background to the model development and level of service assumptions are available:
As part of Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Project J-8B, Cambridge Systematics led an examination of the forces and factors that may necessitate fundamental change in the organizations, institutions, and business practices that traditionally have been used to plan and deliver local public transportation services. The first phase of the study highlighted the forces and factors that make such change in local transit organizations both essential and urgent; highlighted models that might be used to shape the local transit organizations of the future; and identify how the basic functions and business processes required to provide public transportation might be changed in fundamental ways in response to broad societal and economic changes. The second phase of the study involved preparation of case studies to identify and evaluate ongoing examples of fundamental change in progress and identify areas that could be a focus of fundamental change throughout the transit industry.
