... The project has attempted to move beyond a simple listing of sources by providing information about following: • Key characteristics of sources; • The ways that sources are being used; • The frequency of sources' use in differing locales and regions, in various types of agencies, and in support of differing service characteristics; • Issues and circumstances in source selection and use; • Advantages and disadvantages associated with each type of source; and • Strategies and steps to be considered in pursuing implementation of new local and regional transit funding sources. The results of the project are intended to serve as an updateable, interactive resource on local and regional transit funding sources as well as a guide to the evaluation and enactment of new or expanded funding at the local or regional level.
