The California Department of Transportation project developed a single accessible transit data base which can be updated annually. This pilot data base includes a comprehensive printed listing of 287 public transit and paratransit operators including address, contact person, and ridership information. For 169 largest operators (those with an annual ridership over 25,000), other information is provided on General System and Service Area Characteristics, Fleet Operations, Financial Data and Vehicle Needs, Employee Data, and Performance Statistics. These 'profiles' can be used by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for statewide transit planning, for technical assistance, and in special programs such as pooled vehicle purchases. Other transportation planning agencies may find the data base useful in assessing regional needs and monitoring regional performance trends. The operators themselves, particularly the smaller ones, will be able to compare their own financial and operating performance with that of similar operators.
