The paper addresses the need for and reports on the development of a methodology for consistent measurement of reliable performance in transportation operations which include intercity rail, urban commuter rail, rapid transit, bus and streetcar, light rail and small people movers. Performance indices and formulae for their computation are developed as a compromise between industry tradition and modern assurance science techniques. Equipment availability, a generic reference to the reliability, maintainability, and availability of the equipment to transport passengers is discussed as it relates to both service dependability and the cost of the maintenance operation. A comprehensive Failure Assessment and Maintenance Management System (FAMMS) which is directly applicable to transportation properties and which evolved from similar systems used on properties over the past five years is described in detail. The system can be completely computerized and data can either be batch or on-line processed.
