Appendix

Key Characteristics and Uses of Capital by Transit Agencies

The exhibits in this appendix provide data on operations, performance, infrastructure, and uses of capital for the 15 largest bus and demand response transit agencies and for all transit agencies operating heavy rail, commuter rail, light rail, trolleybus, ferryboat, and automated guideway systems.

The top 15 bus and demand response agencies are selected based on the number of vehicles operated in maximum service.

For each mode, four exhibits are presented:

  1. Key Operating Characteristics: Basic information on each system's operations including operating expense, vehicle revenue miles, vehicle revenue hours, unlinked passenger trips and passenger miles. The data is broken down by two categories: directly operated by public agency (DO) and purchased transportation (PT).
  2. Key Performance Indicators: Measures of cost, service effectiveness and efficiency.
  3. Key Infrastructure Characteristics: Infrastructure characteristics such as directional route miles, vehicles operated and available in maximum service, average fleet age, and in the case of rail modes, miles of track and directional route miles.
  4. Uses of Capital: Capital investment information by category of use (revenue vehicles, stations, facilities, guideway, systems, other vehicles and other capital).
