This workshop resource paper examines the approaches and tools which can be applied to the task of managing the transit revenue process. Initially, a general perspective of the responsibilities and philosophies of management which should be considered in assessing revenue activities is presented. Focus then shifts to some of the specific tools which can be applied in the management of the revenue process. The prospect of transferring revenue activities to contracted parties in a number of revenue areas is discussed as well as the opportunity to identify private assistance in performing or financing improvements to existing systems. Finally, several suggestions are presented for attention and research focus by the transit industry in an arena which certainly will undergo extensive scrutiny in the coming years by transit providers, funding agencies and their customers, the riding public.
