ADMINISTERING STATE MASS TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS IN PENNSYLVANIA

Since Pennsylvania has taken an early lead in assisting local public transportation systems, its experience in this area should be of interest to other states. This paper presents the findings of a review of the transit related activities carried on by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, looking at both institutional arrangements and administrative processes. It points out a number of policy issues concerning the range of functional responsibilities, planning and programming processes, intermodal considerations, funding sources, and intergovernmental relations that may be facing other states in the development of transit programs. /Author/
