Title: TRANSIT PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND LOCAL OBJECTIVES: STATE-LEVEL POLICY CONSIDERATIONS (ABRIDGMENT)
Accession Number: 00345343
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: With increased involvement by the states in financing public transportation, the issue has arisen whether states should determine the standards by which the quality of transit service is measured. Either the performance measures on which these standards are based can be used to define a minimum quality level to qualify for state funds or they may actually constitute the basis for distributing state assistance. In this study, several possible criteria for distributing assistance at the state level are contemplated. Some of them are in conflict; it would not be possible to apply all of them simultaneously. The purpose of this analysis is to explicate the policy implications of alternative allocation criteria. (Author)
