Transit Profiles Agencies in Urbanized Areas Than with a Population of Less 200,000 For the 1994 National Transit Database Report Year Gordon J. Linton Administrator Federal Transit Administration December 1995 1994 Transit Profiles Agencies in Urbanized Areas With Less Than 200,000 Population National Transit Database Introduction This publication consists ofindividual profiles for each reporting transit agency located in an urbanized area with a population less than 200,000. The data contained in each profile consists of general and summary reports, as well as modal, performance, and trend indicators for the 1994 Report Year. The 1994 Report Year consists of data from transit agencies whose fiscal years ended between January 1 to December 31, 1994, inclusive. The National Transit Database records reporters in several different ways. One way is to record the actual nxmiber of individual reporters in each report year. For the 1994 Report Year, the number of individual reporters is 524. Of this number, 31 transit agencies received exemptions from detailed reporting. Thus, 493 individual reporters comprise the full database for the 1994 Report Year. The individual reporters are grouped by two classifications based on size of urbanized area. For this publication, 213 fulland complete reports are included. Transit agencies receiving reportingexemptions (24) are included in Appendix B and transit agencies deleted (4) are included in Appendix C. Data from agencies granted exemptions are included only for the transit agency mode(s) and types(s) of service provided and the urbanized area served. In order to provide a more user-friendly and easily understood document, a unique publication name has been created for some transit agencies. Many transit agencies have similar names, such as "Mass TransportationAuthority" or "Regional Transit District." Thispublicationplaces emphasis onurbanized areas to assist with geographical references and to show relationships with regional governing bodies and contractual relationships with purchased transportation providers. The leftpage ofeachprofile shows both general and financial information. General informationincludes the Size of the Urbanized Area, Service Area, Service Supplied, Service Consumed, and the Number of Vehicles Operated in Maximum Service, Financial information includes the Sources of Operating Funds Expended, Summary of Operating Expenses, Sources of Capital Funds Expended, and Uses of Capital Funds. In addition, two pie charts in the lower left-hand comer of the page depict the Sources of Operating Funds Expended and the Sources of Capital Funds Expended. Pie charts that have zero value or only one item equal to 100 percent are not depicted. For 1994, new and enhanced reporting requirements have provided additional information on Operatmg Funds Expended, which now include both Retained and Returned Fares as part ofPassenger Fares, and the inclusion ofSubsidies from Other Sectors ofOperations with Local Funds. Also, a new sectionhas been added to report Reconciling Cash Expenditures such as interest expense, rentals, and leases. The right side of the page for each profile portrays transit agency characteristics by mode. If a transit agency has more than fourmodes, only the fourmodes with the largest operating expenses are included. If a transit agency operates Bus (MB) and/or Heavy Rail (HR) modes, these data will always appear in columns one and two, respectively. Two other columns are provided if additional modes are operated. These columns are arranged in descending order by their respective operating expense. 1994 Transit Profiles Agencies in Urbanized Areas With Less Than 200,000 Population National Transit Database Specific financial and service characteristics are listed for each mode. Performance measures have been derived from individual mode characteristic data. The performance measures represent service efficiency, cost effectiveness, and service effectiveness for certain modes. At the bottom right of the page are line graphs for selected performance measures. They are provided for the modes in columns one and two to indicate trend data from 1990 through 1994. Inconsistent patterns on the line graphs are due to certain anomalies in the reported data. Potential reasons for these anomalies include: (1) the transit agency commenced reporting after 1990; (2) a new mode and/or type of service was reported after 1990; (3) a report was not received for a given year between 1990 and 1994; (4) a waiver was granted for financial and/or operational data; (5) data that was determined to be questionable was partially deleted or was zeroed for a given year; and (6) the elimination ofjoint expense reporting with the 1992 Report Year. Deleted (0/D), Partially Deleted (P/D), Questionable (Q), andWaiver (W) data items have beenentered for affected Transit Profiles. The Data Tables For the 1994 National Transit Database provide additional information regarding this subject. A Appendix provides a total for all the transit agencies that serve urbanized areas with less than 200,000 population. Limited data for the transit agencies receivmg the reporting exemption mentioned earlier is included for mode(s) and type(s) of service and urbanized area. Each data item is the total for the number of transit agencies included. Modal data have also been totaled for the number of modes reported by each of the reporting transit agencies. Appendices B and C provide data on specific transit agency reporting exemptions and deletions. D Appendix provides a Cross-Reference Table and indicates where each data item appearing in this profile can be located in a National Transit Database report filed by an individual transit agency. For data items that were derived, the formula used to calculate each item is listed.
