Abstract:

In this study we trace the development of a transit governance geodatabase for the 200 most populous metropolitan statistical areas in the United States. We use this database to describe thoroughly the metropolitan public transportation systems serving these regions, which include general-purpose local governments, multi-jurisdictional special-purpose governments, public and private transit agencies, and metropolitan planning organizations. From our data, we develop measures of the fragmentation and regionalization of the formal governance of these metropolitan public transportation systems. We discuss national patterns evident in these measures, and we use case studies of four metropolitan statistical areas—two in California, one in Michigan, and one in Texas—to illustrate in more detail the calculation of fragmentation and regionalization.
