TRANSIT IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL: WHAT LIES AHEAD? A STUDY OF PROJECTED TRANSIT SERVICE, COSTS, AND FINANCIAL IMPACTS ON THE REGION THROUGH THE YEAR 2000

The principal goal of the Federal City Council's study of transit finance in the Washington metropolitan area is to achieve a regional consensus regarding what the region's total transit costs and revenues are likely to be through the year 2000. In addition, the study looks at how well prepared the jurisdictions will be to assume their respective shares of the operating deficits and capital costs. Projections concerning future transit service levels, Metrorail and Metrobus ridership, operating and maintenance costs and fare policy among others are presented in the study.
