<p>Current practice in New Jersey for mitigating stormwater impacts caused by transportation infrastructure projects is established by NJDEP Stormwater Regulations (N.J.A.C. 7:8). These rules outline specific processes to offset impacts to water quality, groundwater recharge and peak rate of runoff/runoff volume resulting from the addition of impervious surfaces. The rules are written to address impacts of individual projects without specific provisions for addressing cumulative programmatic impacts of multiple projects through &#39;mitigation banking&#39;.

Business indices play a c r i tical role in summarizing the business conditions of the economy and
indicating the forthcoming of phase changes in business cycle. The useful indices should accurately reflect
the business reality and dynamic changes of the economy. In the pas t decades , signi ficant indus t ry
t ransformation from manufacturing to services has been observed in both New York State/Metro area and the
ent i re nation. The share of goods in US GDP has declined from 54% to 35% and the share of services has

Management may be the last major profession where practitioners acquire their
skills, standards, and values principally through on-the-job training. The majority of
current managers in industry, government, education, and public services learned to do
managerial work by whatever means their particular organization provided. Often this
involved mentoring, sometimes a training course in management or supervision, but more
often the new manager was left to figure it out on his or her own. Sometimes this

<p>Transportation credit mortgage (TCM) programs are intended to reduce auto use, decrease sprawl, and increase housing options for low- and moderate-income households. The centerpiece of such programs is a credit to income for expected savings on auto use for households who purchase a home with good transit access and/or high population density. It is hoped, first, that a higher share of those in target neighborhoods will consist of households who use transit and walk; second, that there will be more housing provided in target neighborhoods.

<p>The primary objective of this proposal is to develop a framework to identify the most likely source of rutting within the pavement system and the presence of mixture instability in the surface layer within the first few years of the pavement life. Currently, the only accurate method of identifying the source of rutting is to cut trenches and observe deformation in the various layers of the pavement structure, a process that is inconvenient, destructive, and expensive.

<p>New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC), an association of governments, transportation providers, and environmental organizations, handles the metropolitan transport ation planning throughout New York City, Long Island and the Lower Hudson Valley. In the early 1990s, NYMTC developed a transportation model, the New York Best Practices Model (NYBPM),&nbsp; in response to federal regulations on surface planning, specifically the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) and the Clean Air Act (CAA).

<p>Activity-based microsimulation models are gaining increasing attention from MPOs around the country. These models earn their reputation by having shown their theoretical superiority over the traditional four-step models. The NYBPM (New York Best Practice Model) model is one of a relatively few operating activity-based microsimulation models in the country and thus provides us a working platform to test their practical advantages over the traditional four-step models. We accomplish this goal by examining the sensitivity of the model in response to changes in the input.

Road traffic crashes and injuries constitute major health, economic, and developmental challenges to African countries. For its 4 per cent of the world?s motor vehicles, the fatalities on African roads exceed 10%. With further motorization, the number of road traffic crashes, injuries and fatalities are expected to continue to grow. The road carnage has severe impact on the human, social and economic development. The present study intends to update the status, trends, causes, existing countermeasure, and issues in traffic safety, facing African countries.
