回顾了在联邦政府运营援助期间（1975年至1984年）美国城市交通行业的发展。在此期间，全国公交行业的财务和运营业绩与前十年（1965年至1974年）进行了比较，当时只有地方和少数州政府提供运营援助。此外，报告还估计了在此期间支付的76亿美元联邦业务援助是如何被美国运输经营者利用的。本文还对美国13个城市地区的公交运营商进行了案例研究，以探讨联邦援助计划期间公交系统运营和财务绩效的变化。根据这些分析的结果，本文最后对该计划作为联邦城市交通政策的主要组成部分的持续可取性进行了评估，并介绍了其改革的两个具体建议。
Reviewed are developments in the U.S. urban transit industry during the period of federal government operating assistance (1975 to 1984). The financial and operating performance of the nation's transit industry during this period is compared with that during the prior decade (1965 to 1974), when only local and a few state governments provided operating assistance. In addition, estimates are reported of how the $7.6 billion in federal operating assistance disbursed during this period has been utilized by U.S. transit operators. Case studies of transit operators serving 13 urban areas in the United States are also used to explore variation in transit system operating and financial performance during the period of the federal assistance program. Drawing on the findings from these analyses, the paper concludes with an evaluation of the program's continued desirability as a major element of federal urban transportation policy, and two specific proposals for its reform are introduced.
