• Abstract:
  This handbook developed as a logical outgrowth of the "Financial Management for Transit!' training course. IUT staff members used the training course notebooks as a base, along with other available studies and documents. From this material we developed a handbook which addresses many of the fundamental financial management issues that the transit industry faces. Each of the ten chapters addresses a separate financial topic and can be used by itself for a specific use, or the chapters can be used in conjunction to provide a comprehensive approach towards financial management. Despite the variety of topics, this handbook is not intended to encompass all of the financial management issues of the transit industry; nor can it completely cover any of the topics that are included. This handbook is merely intended to be a primer for transit managers that have not had the opportunity for a formal financial education, either through college classes, professional development programs, or through extensive on-the-job experience. We hope that some of the ideas presented in this handbook will be beneficial even to those financial managers who have had formal training and experience.
