• Description:
  This report is broken into four sections. Section 1 provides a very brief description of transit in early American cities, describes the second generation of transit and the role of government planning and concludes with the third generation of transit, based on the notion of choice riders. Section 2 describes the introduction of new technologies for managing bus systems provides a new source of data. Harvesting, archiving, geocoding, and combining these data with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data offers a new way for planners and researchers to understand transit participation. Section 3 is case study of the Capital District in Upstate New York, with a special illustration using the City of Troy, New York. Section 4
  
  concludes the report with a discussion of the progress being made to better understand the activity patterns of those using transit for daily activities.
