Abstract:

In many locales, transit budgets are beng tightened, and transit systems are being challenged to operate more cost‐effectively. At the same time, demand for services is increasing. This has renewed interest in contracting fixed route service. However, fixed route contracting has pros and cons, and proper judgment must be exercised in choosing this option. For example, contracting does not always mean improved cost efficiency, and what kind of oversight is needed to ensure quality of service? Transit agencies must understand and assess the benefits and drawbacks of each approach to contracting for transit service before pursuing contractual arrangements.

In this project, University of South Florida researchers reviewed many approaches to fixed route contracting. They inventoried previous work on types of transit operating contracts in the U.S. and Europe, assessed benefits and drawbacks of each type, and developed guidance for agencies to decide if a particular model was appropriate.
