TRANSIT 2000: TASK FORCE ON PUBLIC TRANSIT FOR THE 21ST CENTURY. BACKGROUND PAPER. THE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT FOR PUBLIC TRANSIT TO THE YEAR 2020. A SPECULATIVE ASSESSMENT

This paper is intended as a context setting document for a larger set of activities regarding the future of public transit. The approach taken in this document will treat the subject in three pieces. Piece one will set down what we know in the area of demographics and metropolitan land development patterns. The second piece will be more conjectural, looking at the trends as we understand them and seeking to establish a sense of direction or directions in the diversity of trends and patterns. The third piece will speculate on the implications these directions lead us to regarding public transit.
