Implementation Planning of Integrated Transit Services for a Small Urban and Rural Area. Executive Summary

摘要

The study focuses on possible transit options for a local community. The planning phase addresses the following considerations--Financial Planning; Management and Organization; Institutional Roles; Regulatory Reforms; and Citizen Participation. The specific problem addressed concerns an evaluation of the requirements for implementing transit alternatives in a low density area and securing a community consensus. To incorporate the realities of a complex public transportation planning process, this research project is tied closely to the current public transportation improvement program of Charlottesville and Albemarle County, Virginia.
