Abstract:

An extensive amount of financial and operational data on the public transit systems of Texas

is presently being published by a variety of governmental agencies and industry associations.

However, the manner in which much of this data is collected and published reduces its potential

usefulness to transit operators and planning agencies. In response to this problem, standard

transit system profiles are developed for the eighteen municipal systems of Texas. The transit

system profiles were intended to include a range of financial, operational and performance

variables in order to provide an overview of each system's characteristics. The development of

these profiles will allow transit operators and planning agencies to: 1) monitor trends and

evaluate changes in a transit system's performance over time; and 2) compare the financial and

operational performance of one agency with that of similar operations in the state.
