AN ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT IN THE DELIVERY OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

This report provides an organizational assessment of delivery of public transportation services. It identifies, describes and documents why the present organizational structure is inappropriate for the delivery of adequate public transportation services. The report also seeks to ascertain the problems of coordination in transportation planning, whether an overlap or duplication of efforts exists, and assesses the current state of transportation planning and coordination. The general conclusions are that there are no simple answers to the organizational problem. Each area is physically different and each area's transit needs are different. However, the report does provide an institutional framework on which to base federal, state and local transportation policies.
