CREDITS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The research reported in this Handbook was supported by the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) through a grant given to the Regional Plan Association (RPA) of New York. It presents two models for predicting changes in the relationship between land value and transit access. NYREG, the regional-scale equilibrium model, was developed by Alex Anas, Professor of Economics, State University of New York at Buffalo. Most of the work on NYREG was completed while Professor Anas was at Northwestern University. NYSTA, the station area model, was developed by Regina Armstrong, Senior Fellow - Economics, Regional Plan Association. The scope of this research project was designed and initiated by Boris Pushkarev, formerly Vice President - Research, Regional Plan Association. An Introduction to Transport Impact Studies for Regional Plan Association was prepared by Professor Britton Harris, University of Pennsylvania, a consultant to this project. The authors are grateful to numerous people. Yen-Jong Chen and Donghyo Kim of Northwestern University provided excellent research assistance to Alex Anas. Subhash Gupta and Gretchan Hain- Paez merit much of the credit to work by Regina Armstrong. Boris Pushkarev and Britton Harris made useful comments and observations and provided direction for the research project. Robert Yaro, Jeffrey Zupan, Jack Dean, and Nancy Adamson of RPA helped with the difficult task of making data available. Thanks are also due to Edward Thomas, Ron Jensen-Fischer, Kenneth Mowll and Richard Steinman of UMTA for the benefit of a presentation in Washington and for their comments.
