Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demand for mass transit subsidies is approaching crisis proportions. A study was performed to determine why the demand for transit operating subsidies is growing, what can be done to control subsidy growth, and what improvements are needed in the federal transit operating assistance program. One reason for growing subsidy demands is that rising transit operating costs are not being offset by productivity improvements. Although labor accounts for 70 to 80 percent of operating costs, transit systems have difficulty in using labor efficiently because demand peaks during commuter rush hours. Transit systems are experiencing serious problems in maintaining their bus and railcar fleets. Many systems: (1) are not properly recruiting, training, and promoting their mechanics; (2) do not have adequate preventive maintenance programs; (3) are not properly controlling spare parts inventories; and (4) have restrictive work rules preventing the efficent use of maintenance personnel. The demand for operating subsidies is also growing because transit systems have adopted and maintained unrealistically low fares, even though operating costs are increasing.

Download or read book Urban Public Policy written by Martin V. Melosi and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1992 Los Angeles riots catapulted the problems of the city back onto the policy agenda. The cauldron of social problems of the city, as the riots showed, offers no simple solutions. Indeed, urban policy includes a range of policy issues involving welfare, housing, job training, education, drug control, and the environment. The myriad of local, state, and federal agencies only further complicates formulating and implementing coherent policies for the city. This volume, while not offering specific proposals to remedy the problems of the city, provides a broad historical context for discussing contemporary urban policy and for arriving at new prescriptions for relieving the ills of the American city. The essays address issues related to public housing, poverty, transportation, and the environment. In doing so, the authors discuss larger themes in urban policy as well as provide case studies of how policies have been implemented over time in specific cities. Of particular interest are two essays that discuss the role of the historian in shaping urban policy and the importance of historical preservation in urban planning.
