| 摘要： | The researchers report completely describes use of the tool, its inputs, outputs, and capabilities. Application of the tool to eight counties that have either urban or rural transit services is also presented as a demonstration of the tools use. Good public transit systems are important community amenities because they increase the mobility options for residents at all income levels and abilities, they reduce congestion on roadways and in parking facilities, and they help to reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emission. However, public transit requires a significant investment for establishment, operation, and maintenance. Part of this investment is offset by fares, but substantial contributions are required from government at all levels. These costs are often justified by the economic benefit transit brings, for which, agencies and other stakeholders frequently need current, objective, and community-specific information. |
