For this report, new mobility services are defined as innovative transportation services that redefine how people and goods move within the existing transportation system. Examples include micromobility (shared bikes and scooters), car-sharing, ride-hailing, microtransit, and modern goods delivery services. Revenue measures applied to new mobility services can help agencies that own and manage the transportation system fund staff, technology improvements, and right-of-way modifications. Pricing strategies can also help manage demand for both the services themselves and the public spaces they use. Some new mobility services may merit subsidies because they advance community transportation goals. However, decision-makers are often unaware of the full range of revenue-related tools available to them.

NCHRP Research Report 1165: Revenue-Related Tools for New Mobility, produced by TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program, includes a decision-making framework and examples of best practices to assist those who manage or fund surface transportation networks as they explore ways to subsidize, charge, or assess new mobility services. The report describes the framework for evaluating revenue-related tools for new mobility and explains how to apply the framework. The report also examines promising and innovative revenue models.

Truck parking is a nationwide issue that has intensified with the growth of e-commerce and freight demand. Although federal and state agencies assess needs and construct rest areas, local governments strongly influence parking availability through land use policies, zoning, and enforcement. Safe and adequate truck parking supports freight efficiency, roadway safety, and public health; yet many local jurisdictions lack the resources and guidance needed to address this issue proactively.

NCHRP Research Report 1175: Developing a Guide for Local Truck Parking Regulations, produced by TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program, explores the factors influencing local truck parking decisions, identifies associated challenges and opportunities, and provides actionable resources to help local governments plan for and regulate truck parking more effectively.

The project that led to NCHRP Research Report 1175 also produced NCHRP Web-Only Document 446: Guide for Local Truck Parking Regulations. This companion guide presents a solutions toolbox and a range of model truck parking and staging ordinances, rules, and regulations suitable for consideration and adoption by local municipalities. The guide also addresses truck parking needs, as well as funding opportunities and related resources.

NCHRP Research Report 1167: Interdependence of Federal, State, and Local Transportation Funding and Ownership, produced by TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program, is designed to provide an overview of interdependent funding in the transportation community, the strategies used to manage it, and the outcomes of funding interdependences. Policy- and decision-makers can use the report to help calibrate contextual decisions about generating and using transportation funding in an interdependent environment. The report also gives decision-makers an understanding of both broad approaches and specific strategies that agencies at all levels of government are using to navigate interdependent transportation funding.
