Transit Agency Goals and Non-Traditional Performance Indicators Focused on Equity

项目名称：	Transit Agency Goals and Non-Traditional Performance Indicators Focused on Equity
摘要：	A primary goal of public transit is to connect people to jobs, goods and services and other essentials on a daily basis. Historically, ridership has been the primary way public transit agencies have communicated their success and public value in making connections for community. COVID-19 impacts have changed the context and typical relationships between service levels and ridership. Awareness and acknowledgement of inequities based on race, ethnicity, national origin, physical ability, income, age or gender in our community is prompting agencies to carefully consider how its own service decisions impact diverse communities. Agencies are attempting to define and communicate the magnitude and impact of their efforts to improve access to connections and monitor and correct potential disparities even in times of depressed ridership. Transit agencies across the United States have started to measure progress in new ways that capture levels of investment in service and the rider experience as well as investigate if there are differences across demographic groups. The COVID-19 pandemic’s impact and an acknowledgement of disparities in access to essential services and connections to opportunity adds pressure to adopt new goals and performance indicators, in particular to track the efficiency of systems facing lower ridership and the need to serve essential employees and trip purposes. Several agencies have shifted services and enhanced performance tracking in recent years, continuing to explore non-traditional performance indicators moving forward as well as the means to tie funding to these indicators and emphasize their importance. With several years of non-traditional performance indicators tracking underway, a beginning understanding of COVID-19 impacts, and a continued emergence of new service models, the industry is at a key point to understand and document current practice. The objective of this synthesis is to document the current practice of transit systems in relation to service planning equity . The study will focus on understanding how transit agencies set goals, the targets they set, and the key performance indicators that they use to measure the success or failures of these goals.
