COMPENDIUM OF NATIONAL URBAN MASS TRANSPORTATION STATISTICS: 1986 REPORT YEAR. ANNUAL REPORT. 5TH EDITION

This report provides summary statistics on the finances and operations of the United States' public transit systems for the 1986 calendar year. These statistics were derived from the database developed through the Urban Mass Transportation Administration's Section 15 Reporting System. This report is intended to complement the National Urban Mass Transportation Statistics: 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 operational characteristics are illustrated through use of 1) graphics designed to emphasize key transit industry patterns, 2) policy relevant statistics and aggregations, and 3) trend information incorporating statistics from the Section 15 database 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985 and 1986. These characteristics are examined in three chapters: Chapter I--Financial Statistics; Chapter II--Operational Statistics; and Chapter III--Performance Measures. The report also includes an introduction designed to acquaint readers with the statistics and alert them to issues affecting their use.
