  • Abstract:
    Today, the United States is witnessing a growing renaissance of vintage trolley systems. Vintage trolleys have been successfully integrated into the public transportation systems in several cities. Businessmen in many areas have pursued vintage trolley service as a means to stimulate local business in redeveloped or historic areas. Vintage trolley services can contribute to the success of the local tourist and convention business. If operated on a regular schedule in a downtown area, the trolley service can also attract local riders. Federal Transit Administration (FTA) implemented this study to research the institutional arrangements, service characteristics and costs associated with vintage trolley systems currently being operated in order to provide a base of information with which to make informed funding decisions for future projects. FTA also requested that comparable information be obtained for several downtown bus circulator systems which might bean alternative to the implementation of vintage trolley services. Appendix A contains a detailed description of each vintage trolley system, including ownership and operation of the system, background information on the development of the service, route and equipment operated, service characteristics, capital projects, operating and maintenance costs, revenues, future plans for the trolley service, and a contact person. Exhibits 1, 2 and 3 present a summary of key information for each vintage trolley operation. 5,174k, 104p.
