• Abstract:
  Planning for and funding public transportation is based on ridership. This information can be collected manually, but increasingly, it is collected by Automated Passenger Counters (APC). These electronic devices can be based on different technologies to detect and record passengers entering and leaving vehicles. ; Rider information is also submitted to the National Transit Database (NTD), a record maintained by the federal government. This data must meet Federal Transit Administration (FTA) specifications and can in turn qualify local governments for federal support for public transportation expenditures through the Urbanized Area Formula Program.
