Abstract:
Peer reviews conducted by groups of transit professionals brought together as a panel examine new starts or major changes to rail transit systems. This process represents a cost-effective method of gaining high-level "hands on" expertise at a minimal cost to the property requesting the review. The process is analogous to "networking," a common term for today's computer-minded population.
