The Value of Better Vehicle Occupancy Estimates for Project Prioritization
Transportation projects are increasingly evaluated based on how they improve person throughput, which requires knowing the passenger car occupancy. Yet obtaining occupancies is labor intensive, leading agencies to rely on statewide values. How useful are locality-specific vehicle occupancies? A case study of 38 candidate Virginia highway investments showed an occupancy change of .15 randomly applied to one-half of the projects affects 24% to 42% …
Options for Improving Transportation Project Scoping
Scoping is a process that develops the budget, schedule, and explicit rationale for a transportation infrastructure project. Detailed interviews with Virginia scoping professionals provide a unique occasion to investigate challenges and potential improvements in this field. Problems include lack of a clear purpose statement from the planning process; incongruence between planning cost estimates and scoping estimates; scoping of projects not havin…

Land and water Issues from A humanistic perspective
The sociological perspective and policy analysis
Case studies are widely used in law, medicine and business schools. In this paper an example of how the case method can be used in complex organization, industrial sociology or political sociology classes is presented. The case method also lends itself to an applied approach challenging the student to use a sociological perspective in policy analysis. The utility of the case method for instructors using an applied approach is demonstrated
