Download or read book Performance based Measures in Transit Fund Allocation written by Robert G. Stanley and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2004 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to transit practitioners and transportation professionals, including technical and research staff, as well as those working with them, with regard to the use of performance measures for the allocation of financial assistance to local transit agencies. The synthesis explores current perspectives, practices, and experiences. It focuses primarily on the extent to which traditional measures of transit performance such as internal measures of economic efficiency, service effectiveness, and productivity are used in allocating funds to transit. The report summarizes the experiences of a variety of transit agencies. In addition, it sought to capture key perspectives of transit and transportation professionals on the relationship between system performance and funding decisions and to identify barriers to more extensive use of performance measures in the allocation of funds for public transportation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North Carolina Department of Transportation, Public Transportation Division (NCDOT/PTD) requested recommendations for a benchmarking process for public transportation systems. The project was aimed at providing three primary products: 1. A set of selected benchmarks for public transit systems, particularly efficiency and effectiveness benchmarks that are commonly used by other transit systems and funding agencies, and including benchmarks that specifically relate to important customer satisfaction factors identified as part of the study. 2. A recommended benchmarking process and Guidebook that can be used by public transit systems in North Carolina to measure their performance and to then institute steps to improve any areas of low performance. 3. A set of minimum statewide standards that would be used by NCDOT/PTD to provide incentives and disincentives that would encourage public transit systems to steadily improve performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public demand and federal funding for transit have grown in recent years, yet most of this funding is not tied to performance. As Congress prepares for reauthorization of the federal surface transportation programs, this report examined: (1) the extent to which federal transit programs use performance information in making decisions about funding distribution and in evaluating the programs' effectiveness; (2) mechanisms for making these programs more performance based, and strategies for supporting their successful implementation; and (3) how selected U.S. and foreign transit agencies have used performance measurement in their planning and decisions, and their views on the federal role in transit.
