Abstract:This research examines the current institutional factors influencing public transit investment across metropolitan areas. Specifically, it explores federal efforts in recent transportation authorization laws and administrative regulations to bolster transit agency representation on the boards of metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs). Against the backdrop of the debate surrounding those efforts, the authors report on the first comprehensive inventory of transit agency representation on MPO boards, the bodies responsible for regional transportation planning and spending programs. This work lays a foundation for studying whether board representation for transit providers impacts regional plans and investments in ways that are more transit-focused.
