• Abstract:
  The objective of this study was to assess the effects of labor disputes on transit ridership in Texas using statistical analysis of selected variables. However, during the 1979-1983 study period only one transit system in Texas experienced a strike. Therefore, it was necessary to examine what happened to systems outside the state which had labor strikes during this period. The results of this study and the effects of labor strikes on transit ridership on systems outside Texas can serve as an indicator of what might be expected to occur to transit ridership for Texas systems following a strike. Indeed Dallas, which did experience a strike during the study period, lost riders after its settlement.
