Abstract:

An intensive effort started in 1983 to review the Urban Mass Transportation Act (UMTA) Section 15 reporting system for transit statistics. Although many transit industry professionals have been involved, few researchers are aware of the ways in which proposed changes would alter the national data base. A summary of the efforts to date is presented, and the implications of the proposed changes for those who have been routinely relying on Section 15 data for the conduct of research on U.S. transit systems are highlighted.
