The research described in this report explored the service and operations planning process in the transit industry in a two-phase approach. In the first phase a detailed assessment of current short range transit planning practice was undertaken through a survey of a dozen transit properties and a detailed investigation of two properties. This phase

A series of motivational materials were developed for use with four specific target groups: (1) Parents of children under age 5; (2) Predrivers, ages 12 to 16; (3) Teenage drivers and passengers, ages 16 to 19; and (4) High risk transitional male drivers, ages 19 to 24. Both print and oral materials were developed for use with these target groups.

From a series of laboratory tests run in a cold room with a full-size test wheel, it has been demonstrated that the skid resistance of ice surfaces treated with anti-skid sands can be increased significantly by heating the sand prior to application. The tests included a trafficking period between sand application and skid testing, and therefore app

This report examines the evidence on time-of-day transit pricing in the U.S., particularly in terms of ridership, fiscal, and equity impacts as well as with respect to various implementation issues. Thirty-two time-of-day transit fare programs have been initiated in the U.S. since the early 1970, of which twenty-two currently exist. These are about
