Abstract:

Investments in public transportation in Texas contribute to the state and local economy by improving ; transportation options, which in turn creates benefits for individuals, businesses, and governments. Many ; different agencies provide public transportation services in Texas. Each of these agencies buys goods and ; services on an individual basis. The purpose of this research is to quantify the purchasing power of public ; transportation in Texas and to estimate the economic impact on state and local economies. The research also ; documents how cooperative purchasing can leverage buying power to reduce the cost of equipment, goods, ; and services and reduce the time and expense for administration of procurement activities for public ; transportation providers. Case study examples illustrate opportunities for public transportation providers to ; leverage buying power through cooperative purchasing.
