• Abstract:
  The eight case studies herein are intended to document examples of rural, small urban and suburban transit and paratransit systems that have been successful in: 1) utilizing private transportation companies; 2) reducing government intervention; and 3) reducing or minimizing their reliance on UMTA funding. Cases that are diverse in terms of location, operating environment, operating methods and funding strategies were intentionally selected in order to provide examples potentially useful and relevant throughout the nation. The cases were selected by contacting all 50 State DOT's, the American Bus Association, the International Taxicab Association, and the United Bus Owners of America. Although numerous other successful cases were identified in many states, budgetary and time limits required that only eight cases .be selected that met sill three study criteria noted above.
