Case Studies on Transport Policy

Impact factor: 2.4

A Journal of the World Conference on Transport Research SocietyTransport policy is a multidisciplinary field where engineering, economics, sociology and law must come together in well-articulated and effective solutions. Despite being a field of effective intervention, most scientific publications address transport policy with a theoretical and often abstract approach, making its understanding difficult for non-senior academics and even more opaque for practitioners. While the merits of case study methods both for undergraduate and graduate teaching are recognised, academics struggle to find empirical material that provides objective and operational illustration of the theories and approaches lectured. This is a major barrier not only in the teaching context but also for practitioners.Case Studies on Transport Policy covers this gap by providing a repository of relevant material to support teaching and transferability of experiences. Observation of field experience highlighting the details and drawbacks of implementation is invaluable to show how Transport Policy can be applied in the operational field, maintaining consistency with strategic options. Teaching with case studies introduces students to challenges they may face in the real world, and provides a very rich learning method for executive training at every institutional level. For practitioners, and specially governments, case studies are a powerful tool to show the potential benefits from policy measures and packages.Case Studies on Transport Policy and its sister journal Transport Policy provide a valuable reference for the specialised study of transport policy offering in-depth theoretical analysis and detailed case study description and analysis, and in this way providing very complete material for decision makers planners and practitioners to undertake transferability of experiences.

Journal of Public Transportation

ISSN: 1077-291X
5 Year impact factor: 3.7
Impact factor: 2

This Journal is affiliated with the Center for Urban Transportation ResearchThe Journal of Public Transportation is an international peer-reviewed open access journal. The Journal contains original research associated with various forms of public transportation. Topics are approached from a variety of academic disciplines, including engineering, economics, behavioral sciences, planning, geography, public policy, data science, and others, and include methodological, technological, and policy aspects. Emphasis is placed on the identification of innovative solutions to public transportation problems.Paper Content The Journal will only consider submissions that address public transportation defined as mobility services available to the general public such as line-based services, mobility-on-demand and shared fleets. Services may be offered using a variety of technologies (e.g. road-, rail-, air- or water-bound transport) and offered at various scales (e.g. urban, regional, national, international).Articles included in the Journal should include findings that can be used to the benefit of passengers, agencies, service providers and communities.Papers featuring case studies should advance the state of knowledge and should feature lessons learned and techniques that can be generalized and transferred to other locations that may have similar challenges.Papers that are highly technical in nature are not encouraged. Authors should consider submitting these papers to more technical journals.Paper Standards We seek to publish papers that are professionally prepared and include complete literature reviews, well-explained and sound methodologies, solid data, and clear and unbiased conclusions. Papers must be well organized and should follow a general sequence that describes the problem; states the objectives; reviews past work and the literature; describes the approach, assumptions, and data used; discusses the results and limitations; and draws conclusions. Research funding sources and data providers should be acknowledged.Papers found to be difficult to understand due to language issues may be returned to the authors for professional English editing and resubmission.Journal background The Journal was founded by the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) at the University of South Florida. CUTR strives to help improve the performance and relevance of public transportation and other forms of active transportation. Much of CUTR's research is applied, practical research, in support of the implementation of innovative solutions, and is designed to assist those who plan, design, operate, and maintain transit and paratransit systems, commuter assistance programs, and first-mile/last-mile components that support public transportation. CUTR remains affiliated with the Journal and continues to play an active role in its editorial team.

Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment

ISSN: 1361-9209
5 Year impact factor: 7.8
Impact factor: 7.3

Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment publishes original research on the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to those impacts, and their implications for the design, planning, and management of transportation systems. It covers all aspects of the interaction between transportation and the environment. For example, it includes papers ranging in their coverage from the local and immediate effects of transportation networks on the environments of specific geographical areas, to the widest global implications of natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution.The journal invites submissions of research papers on all modes of transportation, including maritime and air transportation as well as land transportation, and considers their impacts on the environment in the broad sense. Papers dealing with both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The emphasis of the journal is on empirical findings and policy responses of a regulatory, planning, technical or fiscal nature. Articles are primarily policy-driven and should be relevant and applied as well as being accessible to readers from a wide range of disciplines. There are no disciplinary boundaries to work considered and submissions of an interdisciplinary nature are welcomed. Equally, the journal is fully international in its orientation and invites contributions from economically developing, as well as more economically advanced, countries.TRD includes a section focusing on Disasters and Resilience with its own dedicated Section Editors. Transportation plays a critical role in the resilience of communities. Disasters are unexpected, low probability events which can overwhelm the capacity of systems to function and provide vital services supporting human health, environmental quality, and economic and social livelihoods. Transportation systems are essential to effective disaster response, relief, recovery, and mitigation. This section of TRD encourages transportation researchers from multiple disciplines to address the critical ways in which transportation science and the supporting theories, methods, and tools can be applied to increase societal resilience against all hazards, both natural and man-made.
