Abstract: This paper describes a system of computer programs specifically developed to assist in the long-range planning of urban mass transit. These programs provide a flexible and efficient means of forecasting ridership on each line of a proposed multimode transportation system serving a given land use configuration. With a minimum of data requirements, the programs furnish analyses of both the supply and demand sides of urban mass transportation as well as their inter-actions. Through their use, along with existing programs for highway planning, the expected economic and social costs and benefits of a proposed transportation system for any urban area can be inferred with an accuracy heretofore unattainable.
