Abstract:This report presents the technical portion of an Evaluation Plan for the Danville, Illinois User-side Subsidy for Fixed-Route Transit demonstration project. Under the project, the City of Danville will initiate competitive bidding processes for short-term (4 month) contracts to provide new fixed-route transit services for all persons in the population. The goal will establish subsidy ratios that will reward the provider on the basis of patronage levels. More than one provider may provide services at the same time. It is hoped that actual competition or the treat of competition will produce cost-effective and user-oriented transit services. For some period of time, the handicapped and elderly sub-market of the population will be offered subsidies (at different levels) on both taxis and fixed route services. The demonstration project is funded by the Urban Mass Transportation Administration as part of the Service and Methods Demonstration Program. Crain & Associates, under contract to the Transportation Systems Center of the Department of Transportation will perform the evaluation and sources of data for assessing the measures.
