Environmental Impact Assessment of Calgary-Edmonton Rail Corridor

The project focuses on assessing the environmental impact of implementing a regional passenger rail system in the Calgary-Edmonton corridor. The primary goal is to evaluate the potential emission reductions achieved by decreasing personal vehicle use in favor of rail travel. Additionally, the project will analyze the emissions associated with various rail technologies, such as diesel, electric, and hybrid systems. By comparing these technologies, the project aims to identify the most environmentally sustainable option for the corridor. This assessment will provide valuable insights into how regional rail can contribute to emission reduction goals and promote sustainable transportation solutions. The project will involve data collection, analysis, and modeling to estimate current vehicle emissions and potential reductions.

Analyzing the Socio-Economic Impact of Passenger Rail Stations

This project aims to explore the social and economic impacts of passenger rail stations in urban and suburban areas. Integrated.Travel Research and Development seeks to understand how these stations influence local communities, including changes in property values, business growth, and employment opportunities. The project will also examine the social benefits, such as improved accessibility and reduced traffic congestion. By analyzing existing data and case studies, learners will apply their classroom knowledge of economics, urban planning, and social sciences to identify key trends and patterns. The goal is to provide a comprehensive report that highlights both positive and negative impacts, offering insights that can guide future infrastructure planning and policy-making.
