• Abstract:
  The purpose of this research project was to gather and redistribute information on how transit agencies are finding ways to either generate new revenues or reduce costs without harming the best interests of their passengers. This research project was based on the idea that transit agencies have a great deal to learn from each other in the areas of raising new revenue or reducing costs. Indeed, a few agencies indicated that they are spending less money on consultants and more time on the phone with their fellow operators as one way to reduce their costs.
