MANAGEMENT AUDIT OF THE DECATUR PUBLIC TRANSIT SYSTEM

The management audit of the Decatur Public Transit System (DPTS) was conducted in two phases, both of which are presented in this report. Phase I: Audit Findings, was based on data collected between July and December 1980. Phase I describes the general characteristics of the transit system environment, a refined statement of goals and objectives, a peer group analysis, and the analysis and findings in five functional areas: (1) Management and Administration; (2) Transportation; (3) Maintenance: (4) Marketing: and (5) Finance. In the audit of each of these functional areas, an analysis was conducted of existing policies, practices, and performance. These findings comprise the focus of the analysis for Phase II of the audit. Phase II: Corrective Action Program, is based in part on Phase I findings, plus data collection between January and April 1981.
