Abstract:

This report summarizes data collected from the 18 urban public transit systems in Texas and other sources to describe the role of transit in each urban transportation system, and the costs and benefits associated with transit operation. Data pertaining to transit operation, ridership characteristics, transit and automobile trip patterns and the impact of transit on urban transportation congestion levels were analyzed for systems where information was available. The benefits of the transit systems in Texas were estimated in two areas. First, the benefits of transit in the six largest urban areas of reduced congestion, delay, operating costs, accidents, and fuel consumption were estimated for 1987 and projected to 1992. Second, using an input output model, the benefits of expenditures by the 18 urban transit systems on income and employment were estimated.
