PLANNING TRANSIT SERVICES FOR SUBURBAN AREAS

This paper reviews the evolution of a set of proposals for public transit in Contra Costa County, California. The approach used in analyzing and evaluating alternatives for this area has been subsequently applied to other projects with considerable success in isolating key issues quickly and focusing analytical attention on the most promising alternatives. The principal features will be illustrated using the Contra Costa County analysis as a case study example.
