Congestion Pricing Response: Study for Potential Implementation in the Metropolitan Atlanta Area

( 2008-10) Ross, Catherine L. ; Guensler, Randall L. ; Barringer, Jason ; Danner, Amy

Traffic congestion is an increasing burden on American cities. Congested highways delay truck transport and commuters, causing economic and social losses to local businesses and residents and making the area as a whole less attractive to potential residents, investors and visitors. Drivers suffer increased stress and the resulting negative health effects. Long delays in car travel leads to greater amounts of pollutants being emitted into the atmosphere. As a result, one of the foremost challenges confronting towns, cities, regions and transportation providers is the reduction of congestion. Perhaps more importantly, the increasing cost of oil and our current dependence on it make even clearer the need for the introduction of greater efficiency, better management, more sustainable practices, and differential pricing in transportation system planning. There is an even greater expectation that congestion pricing will be a new source of funds to maintain existing and construct new infrastructure. The key objective of this project was to undertake a comprehensive evaluation of public perceptions and acceptability of potential congestion-pricing implementation and deployment strategies for the metropolitan Atlanta area, in order to help guide GDOT in the siting, evaluation, and implementation of future pricing strategies. The project included consideration of new technologies to be used in implementing congestion-pricing schemes, as well as potential consumer objections to congestion pricing and a summary of the most significant inputs to models or efforts to forecast consumer responses to pricing programs. The research effort will provide a comprehensive examination of public perceptions and preferences in regard to the suitability of potential pricing applications in metropolitan Atlanta. The project results include recommendations of strategies to implement congestion pricing, as well as results from an emissions modeling framework and congestion pricing analysis.
Hospitals and Community Health HIA: A Study of Localized Health Impacts of Hospitals

( 2008-06) Ross, Catherine L. ; Barringer, Jason ; Danner, Amy ; Woo, Myungje ; Doyle, Jessica

The Hospitals and Community Health HIA project examines the localized impacts of a hospital, operating as a major anchor institution, on the health outcomes of residents living nearby. The study includes a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) to examine the impact of transportation, land use, urban design and future growth on the residents and neighborhoods located in the vicinity of Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. The final product of this HIA is a set of evidence-based recommendations that inform decision-makers and the general public about the health-related issues associated with the project and suggest how to enhance positive health impacts while mitigating negative health impacts. Results of this HIA will be instrumental in informing future decisions regarding land use, transportation, and urban design by both Piedmont Hospital and by the surrounding communities. This project builds on the Atlanta BeltLine Health Impact Assessment (HIA) which, was conducted with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and with technical assistance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The BeltLine HIA was completed in May 2007.
