Abstract:This Study examines the institutional and economic feasibility of increasing the utilization of the private sector to provide and organize commuter transportation services. These include both private services not subsidized with public funds — private commuter bus service, buspools, and employer vanpool programs, and privately provided services sponsored by public agencies — privately contracted commuter bus service and transit agency vanpooling programs. Based on case studies of urban areas where these services exist, the report determines that they demonstrate significant economic advantages compared to transit agency commuter bus services, but face major institutional and market obstacles to widespread adoption.
