The Relationship

The megaregion has emerged as the preferred unit of analysis for freight transportation and global trade. In the United States, trade and transportation barriers of state boundaries can impede the formation of megaregions, resulting in the hampering of economic development. As a preliminary investigation of the Gulf Coast megaregion, we performed a content analysis of the relationship between freight-related themes in the comprehensive and long-range plans for the metropolitan areas and the respective 11 parishes (counties) in southeastern Louisiana. Our results indicated a slight correlation between freight transportation infrastructure resources and theme frequencies in the histograms, but an overall lack of planning focus on freight infrastructure or trade capacities throughout the study area. Although freight transportation is becoming important federally, Louisiana state and local governments do not fully plan for it, leading to outdated transportation systems, inefficiency, and congestion.

Urban Public Transport

<p>Mesmo que a montagem institucional da organização, gestão e financiamento dos sistemas de transporte coletivo urbano se revista de características peculiares a cada aglomeração, a observação do funcionamento das estruturas existentes em diferentes cidades do mundo e um subsídio valioso, sobretudo quando se está em busca de soluções que viabilizem e racionalizem a mobilidade nas metrópoles brasileiras. O objetivo do presente artigo é apresentar um breve relato da experiência de alguns países em relação ao assunto. Para cada caso abordado, são enfocados o nível de intervenção do poder público, a constituição da entidade encarregada dos sistemas (quando ela existir), as fontes de recursos destinadas a investimentos em operação e a forma de gestão e integração dos serviços.</p><p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p><p>Even if the institutional arrangements for the organization, management and financing of urban transportation systems are different for each city in the world, observation from the existing structures is a powerful tool when solutions are reached in order to make mobility within the Brazilian bigger cities more feasible and rational.The purpose of this article is to present an overview from experiences leaded by some countries. Each case shows public policies, urban public transport authorities organization, the financing sources concerned to investments in operation and how service management and integration work.</p>
