Irvine Performance Evaluation Method: An Instructional Manual for Use in Conducting Internal Evaluations of Transit Performance

摘要

The purpose of this manual is to provide a diagnostic tool for reviewing the overall performance of fixed-route motor bus operations in both single and multimodal systems. It describes and demonstrates a comprehensive set of steps and suggestions for conducting performance evaluations. A set of seven performance indicators, selected in earlier research, is used to measure key areas while peer groups permit comparative analysis. The manual is a self-contained system for performance evaluation. It presumes transit experience, but no knowledge of data management or statistics. It is both a training and a reference manual.
