Abstract
The papers in this volume, which were presented at the 1994 TRB Annual Meeting, report new research in planning and management of public transportation. New ideas are explored and improved practices discussed. Potential application is real and holds significant promise of utility and better customer service. Part 1, Planning and Development, addresses six subjects. Part 2, Management, Marketing and Fare Policy, focuses on three explorations of transit user information. Part 3, Technology, considers three technological operational challenges. The research discussed in this volume demonstrates the depth and breadth of transit research in the past few years and sets the stage for further advances in the future.
