Abstract The New York State Department of Transportation was required to certify as to the “economy and efficiency” of transit operators participating in the State's public transportation operating assistance program. This paper describes the efforts undertaken to meet this mandate. Discussed are past efforts to link performance measures to funding programs; reasons for modifying measures which had been used in previous efforts; and some of the problems and issues raised by the use of such criteria. The paper identifies 15 performance measures being used by New York State in its evaluations, the actual ranges encountered in the transit operations being funded through the state program, and tentative “acceptable and desirable” levels of those measures which the Transportation Department is using in its evaluation. The role these measures play in the state's operating assistance policy decision process is also described.
