Abstract:

Rural transit programs are funded with 5311 funds, named for their description in Section 5311 of United States ; Code (49 USC S5311). In Alabama, 15% of 5311 funds are set aside to be spent on improving intercity bus ; service through the 5311(f) program at levels slightly under $2M per year. With those funds, ALDOT is currently ; working with three intercity bus providers to improve the quality and quantity of service to Alabama citizens. ; This report was prepared to provide an overview of the existing 5311(f) program in Alabama and provide ALDOT ; with data to support decision making concerning overall program effectiveness, effectiveness of the current ; individual providers, and evaluation of the current subsidized routes and investigation of potential new routes. The ; report presents information in the following areas: ;  Coverage of the state ;  Budget adequacy ;  Ridership and ridership trends ;  Providers’ cost per trip ;  Current advertising expenditures ;  Bus stop amenities ;  Area for potential expansion ;  A comparison of two providers based on key ratios from quarterly reports ; The researchers were not asked to examine existing fleets or evaluate federal funds matching programs.
