SPECIAL BIBLIOGRAPHY: PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR

The 208 citations in this bibliography are related to the involvement of the private sector in fixed-route and paratransit at a time when government support for public transportation is often declining as capital and operating costs are climbing. Until a quarter century ago, the private sector was responsible for much of the public transit in the United States. In the ensuing years, this situation has turned around completely. Now transit and government agencies are looking again to the private sector as a possible solution for some of their problems. The citations in this document--abstracts of technical reports and journal articles--cover the related literature published between 1974 and 1984.
