  • Abstract:
    This latest edition of APTA's Glossary of Transit Terminology updates the previous glossary that was produced in 1984, and provides significant cross-references. This edition also gives definitions for more recent transit-related terms like National Transportation System (NTS) and Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). Finally, this glossary has been expanded to meet the specific needs of transit system board members, new employees in the industry, and citizens involved in transit activities.
