摘要：	Five years ago, several transportation agencies in Los Angeles County began discussions on developing a process to reevaluate the existing bus service delivery system, including the opportunity for public involvement and participation. As a result, the concept of a thorough restructuring study was developed. Restructuring studies are closely related to other activities focused on the bus system. In March 1996, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) board approved a broad-based bus system improvement plan that tied together many of the ongoing service improvements with proposed plans and programs to provide a 2- to 5-year set of goals to improve bus service in Los Angeles. It is in this context that the MTA and the Los Angeles Department of Transportation commissioned a special work effort as part of the Central/East/Northeast restructuring study to examine options for a transit incentive program for transit-dependent riders. The transitory nature of transit dependency has gained increased awareness in recent years, but development of effective strategies has lagged behind as transit agencies have targeted discretionary travelers as the largest pool of potential riders. The approach taken is to identify and describe rider-incentive programs implemented at other transit agencies that target or can be applied to the transit-dependent population, to consider public input about incentives and rewards that would be attractive to these riders, and to note key neighborhoods in the study area where there are significant numbers of households without automobiles. The objectives are to develop options for a pilot incentive program and to define the type of area appropriate for a focused demonstration-type project. The application of ideas as part of the consent decree negotiated by the Los Angeles County MTA is summarized.
