Title: Bus Route Performance and Service Change Guidelines for the Fairfax Connector
Abstract: Evaluation and improvement methods of bus transit system performance are an ongoing area of study and refinement within the transit industry. Capturing the full scope of system performance through differing metrics gives transit providers a clear picture of where the system is excelling, and where improvement is needed. Current performance metrics in use provide transit planners and managers with data in the areas of ridership, on-time performance, and cost. These measures are used in the industry to make necessary adjustments to bus service, including service levels and routing alignment; based on performance data. However, the current performance measures and methods used by transit managers to evaluate and change bus service do not provide the full scope of bus system or route level performance. Advanced analytical methods for evaluating transit performance and performing route alignment modifications presented by various researchers of the transit industry provide a comprehensive system for measuring and altering bus service. This research applies advanced analytical methods to transit performance measure and route modification, to demonstrate their potential for application in the industry.
