Regular Route Passenger Services in Minnesota

摘要

Research conducted for this study included phone interviews with 31 carrierexecutives, 5 focus groups with local government officials, and historical analysis of operating trends using biennial data from annual reports submitted by carriers. Carriers holding intrastate authority to provide regular route passenger services (RRPS) were divided into four groups: (1) intercity carriers operating in interstate commerce, (2) intercity carriers operating primarily within Minnesota, (3) local carriers who operate over short routes, usually within a single city or metropolitan area, and (4) local carriers who receive public subsidies.
