COMPENDIUM OF NATIONAL URBAN MASS TRANSPORTATION STATISTICS: 1983 REPORT YEAR

This report provides summary statistics on the finances and operations of this nation's public transit systems for the 1983 calendar year. These statistics were derived from the data base developed through the Urban Mass Transportation Administration's Section 15 Reporting System. This report is intended to complement the National Urban Mass Transportation Statistics, the Section 15 Annual Report issued by the Urban Mass Transportation Administration since 1980. That report contains aggregate transit statistics, but focuses principally on the finances and operations of individual transit systems. By contrast, the Compendium provides a national, policy-oriented perspective, highlighting aggregate financial and operational characteristics. In this report, national transit industry financial and operational characteristics are illustrated through use of 1) graphics designed to exphasize key transit industry patterns, 2) policy relevant statistics and aggregations, and 3) trend information incorporating statistics from the Section 15 data base for 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, and 1983. These Characteristics are examined within three chapters: Chapter I--Financial Statistics; Chapter II--Operating Statistics; and Chapter III--Performance Measures. The report also includes an Introduction designed to acquaint the reader with the statistics and alert him/her to issues affecting their use.
