The research tests the usefulness for performance analysis of data resulting from Section 15 of the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964, as amended. The 1978-79 statistics were used to validate a framework for performance analysis based upon efficiency and effectiveness. The purpose for examining the Section 15 data were (1) to assess data reliability; (2) to develop a small set of performance indicators; and (3) to produce a classification of bus systems based upon inherent characteristics. Nine dimensions of performance, developed from 60 measures, were used to develop a performance index that can be applied to individual transit properties. This report provides a brief history of the Section 15 system, assesses its usefulness and concludes with suggestions for improvements to the system.
