• 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.
