Abstract:The effort to instill a "private sector" mentality into the transit industry should not end simply with the creation of "more profitable" services or in the development of more efficient management practices. It must also focus on the need to develop markets. The underlying principles of the Greater Bridgeport Transit District's Community and Economic Development Program belong to this broad area of market development. However, in 1981, it was not clear if the need to incorporate this kind of activity within a transit operation had been fully appreciated by the Reagan Administration. With the elimination of the Urban Initiatives program, it appeared that all Federal involvement in joint development activity was dead. Current UMTA funding priorities, however, make it apparent that the joint development concept is alive and well and is being given considerable attention.
