This study examines the processes of governance transformation that have been employed to respond to the opportunities for and challenges to providing regional public transportation. Key tasks in the project included: A brief and targeted literature review; Identification of core governance models among United States transit systems; Case studies of eight transit systems of different sizes, in different parts of the country; and Identification of potentially effective governance models and strategies for transformation. The regions included in the governance case studies are centered on the following cities: Syracuse New York, Charlotte North Carolina, Tallahassee Florida, St. Louis Missouri, Davenport Iowa, Austin Texas, Santa Fe, New Mexico, and San Diego California. Five categories of organizational models were documented by the case studies, based on the combination of the specific reasons or needs for governance change (e.g., service expansion or coordination) and the locally preferred mechanism for implementing change (e.g., by statute or by local agreement).
