Description
"... designed to provide practical answers to questions regarding how to best plan for passenger rail in Colorado. It is based on extensive research into the land use/rail transit relationship, and on an evaluation of existing rail transit systems and their urban environments in North America. The Handbook is not meant to advocate rail transit, per se, but rather to describe the land development patterns that would be required to support rail transit...

Description
In this study, the Regional Transportation District's (RTD's) light rail operations were examined for pollutant production and runoff. Conclusions from the study: Water leaving ballasted tracks carries only a small fraction of the heavy metals that are introduced into tracks from the light rail operations. Heavy metal concentrations at the most heavily traveled light rail station showed that pollutant concentrations were far below the regulatory limits....

Description
In this study, the Regional Transportation District's (RTD's) light rail tracks were modeled to determine the Rational Method runoff coefficient, C, values corresponding to ballasted tracks. The runoff coefficient for ballasted tracks is significantly larger than the previously tabulated values for railroad yards. The higher runoff coefficient reflects the design of ballasted tracks to drain rainfall as quickly as possible.
