New Paradigms for Local Public Transportation Organizations. Task 5 Report:Opening the Door to Fundamental Change

摘要

This report provides a wide range of stakeholders with a set of insights andstrategies that can be pursued to initiate fundamental change--or a paradigm shift--in how public transportation services can be designed and delivered, and how public transit organizations may be managed in the decades to come. The report represents the midpoint in an extensive research effort being sponsored by TCRP of the Transportation Research Board (TRB). It summarizes findings from ongoing research that address three basic questions: 1. Why is fundamental change--a paradigm shift--needed in public transportation; 2. What is the scope and scale of change that might be sought; and 3. How can fundamental change be most effectively pursued and sustained.
