PRIVATE-SECTOR ROLE IN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: AN OVERVIEW

This conference explored how to generate private-sector financing; how to involve interested parties early in the planning process to assure that all participants are treated equitably; and how to handle administrative requirements that may be well-meaning but that impose undue hardships, especially on small firms. Other topics include management and operating roles, the use of paratransit in improving public transit productivity, and the role of the private bus industry. There were five sessions during the conference. Summaries of these sessions are included, along with closing comments.
