Abstract:Frustrated with increased parking problems, unstable gasoline prices, and stifling traffic congestion, a growing number of
metropolitan city dwellers consider utilizing the mass transit system. Reflecting this sentiment, a ridership of the mass transit
system across the United States has been on the rise for the past several years. A growing demand for the mass transit system,
however, necessitates the expansion of service offerings, the improvement of basic infrastructure/routes, and the additional
employment of mass transit workers, including drivers and maintenance crews. Such a need requires the optimal allocation of
financial and human resources to the mass transit system in times of shrinking budgets and government downsizing. Thus, the
public transit authority is faced with the dilemma of “doing more with less.” That is to say, the public transit authority needs to
develop a “lean” strategy which can maximize transit services with the minimum expenses. To help the public transit authority
develop such a lean strategy, this report identifies the best-in-class practices in the U.S. transit service sector and proposes
transit policy guidelines that can best exploit lean principles built upon best-in-class practices.
