Abstract:Under Project FARE (Financial Accounting and Reporting Elements, (IT-06-0034), uniform standards, definitions, and procedures for reporting, financial and operating data by the urban transit industry were developed. The objective of this project was to provide a standard system of accounting and reporting information in selected statistical categories in order to facilitate analyses of the transit industry by Federal, state, local, and other agencies. The FARE system will permit a higher degree of comparability between the transit operations of individual properties than has been possible in the past. Project FARE was completed through Task IV in November, 1973, with the publication of the Task IV reports (see Appendix 1.) These documents describe the final FARE accounting and reporting system, including general system instructions; prescribed accounting standards; detailed definitions of all reporting categories; and forms used for reporting the assets, liabilities, capital, revenue, expenses, and nonfinancial operating data for both transit and commuter rail systems. The FARE system has been approved by UMTA and concurred in by the Industry Control Board which advised the FARE Project and whose members represent the financial management officials of transit operating properties. In addition, the ICC, several State DOTs, the American-Transit Association, the National Governors' Conference, and the League of Cities/Conference of Mayors have endorsed the proposal.
