Abstract:The objective of this research project was to estimate the capital and operating costs associated with providing general public transportation and paratransit services in Topeka, Wichita, Lawrence, and Manhattan Kansas over the next ten years ( 1997 - 2006). This report presents the results of the transit needs assessment for Topeka and the paratransit needs assessment for Manhattan. The results reported in the present study are based on a synthesis and extrapolation of existing data. The needs assessment is presented in aggregate financial terms. The present study does not explicitly address ridership, demand, routes, service configuration, or system design. The Topeka needs assessment is presented in terms of several scenarios which attempt to quantify the financial resources needed to maintain existing levels of general public transportation and paratransit services in Topeka for the period 1997 to 2006 for various levels of local, state, and federal funding assistance. The Manhattan needs assessment presented in this report attempts to quantify the financial resources needed to maintain existing levels of paratransit services in Manhattan for the period 1998 to 2007. In addition, data concerning local socio-demographic trends and transit service characteristics are provided in sufficient detail to allow local service providers to perform a rudimentary assessment of the potential economic and service impacts of a range of alternative service configurations.
