NEW ORGANIZATIONAL RESPONSES TO THE CHANGING TRANSIT ENVIRONMENT

The Conference on Organizational Responses to the Changing Transit Environment was sponsored by the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA). The objective of the conference was to assess the effectiveness of transit organizational structures now being used, and those developed in recent years, and to identify further organization changes appropriate to the new conditions and pressures transit faces. It was believed that contemporary guidance on organizational change would emerge to assist those addressing this topic on the local level. Findings were presented in resource papers and presentations and further refined in workshop discussions.
