Performance Measures for Public Transit Mobility Management

What has been agree is that Mobility Management is an innovative approach for managing and delivering coordinated public transportation services that embraces the full family of public transit options. This research looks at the state of mobility management practice throughout Texas, as well as national best practices in mobility management. The research also presents a menu of performance measures that can be utilized based on the type and level of program implemented.
