Rural transit programs are funded with 5311 funds, named for their description in Section 5311 of United States Code (49 USC S5311). In Alabama, 15% of 5311 funds are set aside to be spent on improving intercity bus service through the 5311(f) program at levels slightly under $2M per year. With those funds, ALDOT is currently working with three intercity bus providers to improve the quality and quantity of service to Alabama citizens. This report was prepared to provide an overview of the existing 5311(f) program in Alabama and provide ALDOT with data to support decision making concerning overall program effectiveness, effectiveness of the current individual providers, and evaluation of the current subsidized routes and investigation of potential new routes. The report presents information in the following areas: ? Coverage of the state ? Budget adequacy ? Ridership and ridership trends ? Providers’ cost per trip ? Current advertising expenditures ? Bus stop amenities ? Area for potential expansion ? A comparison of two providers based on key ratios from quarterly reports The researchers were not asked to examine existing fleets or evaluate federal funds matching programs.
