摘要: |
Increased federal funding of rural transit and specialized service programs brings with it increased accountability requirements. The burden of reporting for these growing programs ultimately rests with the individual state Departments of Transportation (DOTs). These new requirements have emerged during a time when DOTs are challenged financially and are unlikely to be able to support additional staff to satisfy the new reporting needs. Rural transit providers have also assumed this added responsibility during a time of scarce resources. The need for this research grew out of recognition that rural and specialized transit data are not consistently reported. Rural and specialized transit providers do not have a common understanding of the data definitions for National Transit Database (NTD) reporting; and robust data collection methods are not consistently utilized. State DOTs depend upon transit operators to provide quality data. |
