| Abstract | This manual is a guide to help Pennsylvania transit system managers make better use of limited physical and financial resources. It details a process for setting objectives, evaluating performance, and implementing service and fare changes. The stress is on aiding transit governing boards and management to decide the level of performance they should meet and making appropriate changes to achieve that performance. Many different performance objectives and service alternatives are described, not all of which are applicable for every system. The manual is organized in five sections: Formulation of system objectives; Setting of criteria and performance level guidelines; Evaluation methodology; Types of service changes available; Fare related changes and effects on revenues and ridership. |
