The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded The Regents Of The University Of Colorado, doing business as University Of Colorado-Denver, $349,614 on January 1, 2027, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop mathematical methods that enable public transit agencies to design service plans and allocate resources while incorporating stakeholder preferences and securing community approval. The research creates a new analytical framework based on non-transferable utility linear production games, combining mathematical programming with cooperative game theory. The work establishes theoretical conditions for identifying stable, mutually acceptable solutions to resource-allocation decisions; develops efficient algorithms for computing such solutions; and applies these methods to joint design of public transit service plans and funding strategies. By integrating stakeholder approval as an explicit requirement in optimization models, the resulting methods will help public agencies balance operational efficiency with broad community support, increasing the likelihood of successful implementation of infrastructure and policy decisions. Performance runs from January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2029, with work performed in Aurora, Colorado.
