MEASURING TRANSIT SERVICE. PROCEDURE MANUAL NO. 4A
This manual has two objectives: (1) to provide procedures for measuring and controlling the existing level of transit services so they may be operated on an efficient and economically sound basis and (2) to give guidance for gathering information by which transit management and public officials may integrate transit operations with overall community transportation policies. It discusses methods for the measurement of existing transit services in terms of routes and coverage, passenger loading, frequency and regularity of service, running time, and speed and delays. These procedures have been used for many years by transit operators. Data obtained from these measurements can be compared with the standards set forth in the Public Administration Service's Manual 8A ("Recommended Standards, Warrants and Objectives for Transit Services and Facilities") to determine what deficiencies, if any, exist and to furnish a background for any necessary improvement. The manual includes sample data collection forms.
