• Abstract:
  This document proposes The National Transit Database Sampling Manual. It is developed for the ; Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to replace its current guidance (circulars 2710.1A and 2710.2A) to ; transit agencies on how they may estimate service consumed data through random sampling for the ; National Transit Database (NTD). It covers the following topics for all modes and types of service: ; ?? How to obtain a 100% count ; ?? How to estimate passenger miles traveled for intermediate years ; ?? How to get a sampling plan ; ?? How to collect sample data ; ?? How to estimate annual unlinked passenger trips or passenger miles traveled ; ?? How to determine monthly unlinked passenger trips ; It also comes with an Excel-based template for transit agencies to develop customized sampling plans ; with sample data from their own services. The FTA is expected to formally adopt a shortened version of ; this proposed NTD Sampling Manual but has not yet done so by January 2009. Even if the FTA were to ; decide not to adopt it, however, the best practices presented and the template are useful for transit ; agencies to reduce their reporting burdens while meeting FTA’s requirements.
