Quick-Response Research on Long-Term Strategic Issues. Task 50. Transit Funding Sources and Governance Models
The objectives of this research are to present (1) revenue sources for public transportation and the relationship between revenue sources and governance models to help public transportation agencies be financially sustainable in the future and (2) a decision-making tool to help guide discourse among stakeholders regarding public transportation governance and methods for sustaining and increasing funding. The research should address through illustrative examples: What are different revenue sources and how does governance relate to and affect funding and financial sustainability for public transportation? What are the key attributes and criteria that distinguish governance models and funding sources for public transportation? What are the benefits, challenges, and risks of different revenue sources and governance models? How do they affect the financial sustainability of public transportation?
