INFORMATION EXCHANGE ON TRANSIT ISSUES

This report provides an overview of major issues involved in the compilation and dissemination of experience on transit issues. The increasing deficit and added complexity of transit options open make sharing of transit information even more critical. Participants in the sharing process can include federal agencies, regional planning bodies, and general-purpose and functional program officials of state, county, and local government. Mechanisms open include direct consultation, tailored documents and seminars, needs determination exercises, special user mechanisms, training courses, and demonstrations. A list of general considerations for the design of information exchange programs is also included.
