Title: 1995 PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF FLORIDA'S TRANSIT SYSTEMS: PART II, FIXED-ROUTE PEER REVIEW ANALYSIS, 1995
Abstract: Under contract with the Public Transit Office of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) has conducted a performance evaluation of Florida's transit systems. This report is based on data from federally-required National Transit Database (NTD) reports, which are submitted to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for each fiscal year by systens receiving Section 9 funding. FTA, which has required these data since 1979, provides extensive documentation on how the data are to be collected and reported, and requires auditor certification of the submitted data. NTD reports are the best single source of data for reviewing transit system performance because the data are standardized, undergo extensive review, and are the result of a substantial data collection and repoerting process by the transit systems. Some NTD data are used by FTA and by states and localities for calculating formulae for the allocation of funding to transit systems. As a result, the data are extremely important to transit agencies.
