Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify actual cost reductions and other benefits attributable to transit coordination strategies in Minnesota. The Minnesota Council on Transportation Access selected case studies that demonstrate specific efforts to coordinate and calculated the cost savings associated with those activities. In addition to cost savings, other benefits of coordination can include generating revenue, increasing productivity, producing community benefits, increasing riders’ access to transportation services, and improving service quality. When agencies adopt methods to coordinate, this creates potential for reinvesting dollars or resources into other parts of a transportation service, thus improving the overall transportation system available to the public. The case studies discussed in this report were selected and analyzed primarily for evidence of cost reductions. In addition, the coordination activities in these case studies demonstrate other societal benefits, including increased passenger safety, greater productivity, expanded service coverage, growth in transit ridership, and improved service quality.
