• Abstract:
  Good public transit systems are important
  
  community amenities because they increase
  
  the mobility options for residents at all income
  
  levels and abilities, they reduce congestion on
  
  roadways and in parking facilities, and they help
  
  to reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emission.
  
  However, public transit requires a significant
  
  investment for establishment, operation, and
  
  maintenance. Part of this investment is offset by
  
  fares, but substantial contributions are required
  
  from government at all levels. These costs are
  
  often justified by the economic benefit transit
  
  brings, for which, agencies and other stakeholders
  
  frequently need current, objective, and
  
  community-specific information.
