TRANSPORTATION PLANNING FOR YOUR COMMUNITY. TRANSIT PLANNING

A manual is presented for identifying the major types of public transportation options for small urban areas (fixed route, demand-responsive, and brokerage), potential Federal resources for public transportation support, and the generalized approach to planning such transportation. Procedures are described for estimating transit demand, specifically data collection methods and trip interchange modal split analysis, and for operational planning of a public transportation system: establishing objectives, developing operational guidelines, administering the transit system, internal operational procedures, and fixed facility planning. Also included are a transportation planning evaluation procedure and evaluation measures for existing public transit operations.
