The report identifies alternative sources of revenue for the support of public transportation and suggests a comprehensive framework within which these alternative revenue sources may be evaluated. Particular attention is devoted to those sources of revenue (gasoline taxes, parking surcharges, congestion tolls, etc.) which positively impact on regional environmental and transportation planning objectives at the same time that they provide new revenue for transit support. The report draws on a limited number of existing studies to identify (1) the potential range of future revenue deficits facing U.S. transit operations; (2) the sources, amounts, and distribution of existing revenues going to support transit in the largest U.S. metropolitan areas; (3) alternative financing mechanisms available; (4) evaluation criteria which have previously been employed to select revenue sources for transit support; and (5) new criteria which could be employed to provide a more complete evaluation.
