Worsening financial conditions of the nation's urban transit systems stimulated interest in this study. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of varying budgetary conditions of transit systems on the ability of those systems to provide transit service. To identify what the effects of these conditions would be on transit system performance, a few carefully selected case studies were analyzed. The study examined bus transit services provided by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) in the Philadelphia area, and the Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit) in the San Francisco area; and the commuter rail operations of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad (CNW), the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), and the Reading ConRail commuter operations in the Philadelphia area now being operated for SEPTA. Technological innovation in urban systems may be necessary.
