The application at the Tidewater Transportation District Commission of a framework for evaluating a transit agency's maintenance program is described. This method views the maintenance department's mission as a set of management activities that are associated with functional tasks that comprise the total bus maintenance process. A structured data collection procedure was developed and used to provide the information necessary to perform the analysis. A step-by-step discussion of each of seven management elements cites the data used for the analysis and interprets measures of the level of activity provided. Utilization of Section 15-type data supplements the management unit evaluations to provide an overall measure of the maintenance operation's effectiveness, particularly in terms of vehicle miles per road call and vehicle maintenance cost per vehicle mile. The study results are presented as a summary matrix that shows general performance patterns. This application provides transit agencies with a guide for using the method. The framework suggests promise for promoting comparability among transit maintenance departments.
