Abstract

This article proposes a public transit evaluation measure than can satisfy four criteria: Measurement of positive contributions rather than minimum standards; allowance for weighting of different kinds of passenger trips to accommodate special equity and externality considerations; permits assessment of a range of potential improvement actions--not just route extensions or cutbacks; and allows comparison of a new proposal with the best available alternative. The evaluation measure is transit deficit per passenger. Specifically, the transit route deficits per passenger is consistent with evaluating a transit system from the standpoint of effectiveness and efficiency.
