Abstract:Short-range public transportation improvements—actions which can be effective within one or two years—have received a great deal of attention since the raid- 1970s as decision makers and planners attempted to respond to new kinds of transportation problems. The urgent need to conserve fuel, the desire to increase travel opportunities for the handicapped, and steadily growing transit deficits all prompted UMTA's Division of Service and Methods Demonstrations to test and monitor a wide range of innovative improvement strategies. Under UMTA sponsorship, the Transportation Systems Center (TSC) of the U.S. Department of Transportation has monitored these tests and documented numerous demonstrations in a series of project evaluation reports. This document presents standardized case studies for 29 short-range projects which have been monitored carefully by TSC, or, in some cases, by local agencies. We believe that this report will be helpful to planners as a single source of information on the effectiveness of numerous public transportation actions. It will also provide guidance to specific TSC project reports and other references for more detailed documentation on worthwhile actions.
