Improving Transit Agency (Commuter Rail) Performance to Attract Riders: What Works?

The purpose of this project is to identify successful strategies that commuter rail providers have used to rebuild their ridership to counter stagnant or declining ridership in the post-COVID–19 era. It will also identify how transferable these strategies are to other areas by assessing whether they involved local partnership and/or were based on local conditions.
