Abstract

This is the 1988 edition of the Directory of Urban Public Transportation Service. This Directory lists transit information for 931 conventional and specialized local transit services in 316 urbanized areas (UZAs) of over 50,000 population. The UZAs shown in this Directory have been identified in a U.S. Department of Census Supplementary Report (Publication No. PC80-S1-14), entitled: Population and Land Area of Urbanized Areas for the United States and Puerto Rico: 1980 and 1970. This Directory is organized to meet a wide variety of informational needs for the user. Chart-type sheets in the Directory show a particular transit system name, its number of peak vehicles, the agency contact persons, and the address and telephone number of the contact person. The following lists are provided in this Directory: Transit Agencies; UZAs Listed by Population; UZAs that Cross State Lines; Vehicle Summary Counts; and a Glossary of Terms. Update forms are included in the back of the Directory so that transit personnel may conveniently submit corrected information to be included in the next edition of the Directory.
