Abstract:

This report presents the results of an evaluation of the short-term effects of implementing new public transportation systems in Kerrville, Port Arthur and Midland, Texas. Major emphasis was placed on identifying the personal and travel characteristics of those groups of individuals which use the transit services on a regular basis. In addition, the effects of the new transit systems on energy conservation, traffic congestion and the demand for parking were also identified, as were the effects on retail establishments and other providers of transportation services. Input from community leaders and the general public was also sought on the effects of the new transit systems. Finally, a set of generalized guidelines for use in planning and implementing new public transportation systems in other small Texas cities was developed based on the experiences in Kerrville, Port Arthur and Midland.
