• Abstract:
  Report contains a description of the work done to evaluate the capability of the urban mass transit industry to report financial and operating data through a uniform reporting system. Techniques used in the evaluation included a questionnaire survey of 191 transit systems and field studies of 43 transit systems and related organizations. The questionnaires and field studies disclosed a wide variety of operating and record keeping practices. Reporting results by uniformly defined data categories will require translation of data from internally used categories to reporting categories for many transit systems. It will also require collection of data not now maintained for many transit systems: Part I. Survey Findings; and, Part II. Sample Questionnaire
