Abstract:

This report presents the results of the third phase of a project to implement a transit performance monitoring system (TPMS). The TPMS was designed to collect data on transit customers through the use of on-board surveys. The long-term goal of the TPMS initiative is to standardize the collection of data and, thereby, provide a basic, but comprehensive analysis of the performance and benefits of transit service.

The TPMS project was funded through a cooperative agreement between the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the American Public Transit Association (APTA). FTA funded the project to obtain information —the characteristics of passengers, their trip purposes, and the benefits of these trips — that would provide an objective and meaningful portrayal of the performance of transit in serving communities’ transportation needs. APTA and FTA managed the project to develop an approach that local transit systems could use to assess the performance and identify the benefits of transit service.

A total of 30 transit systems participated in the third phase of the project, which was conducted in 2002 and 2003. A voluntary approach was used which gave participating transit systems the responsibility for designing, conducting, and analyzing the on-board surveys. APTA asked transit systems to provide the data from past surveys that was similar to the data needed by TPMS. APTA also encouraged transit systems to use the standard TPMS questions in upcoming on-board surveys and share the results of these surveys with the TPMS project.
