The "Survey of State Funding for Public Transportation" report offers a unique source of information on state-level public transportation funding, the source of funds, the potential use of funds and method of funds distribution for each transit program. There is no other existing resource available that provides the level of detail contained in this report. The preparation of this report is based on data provided by representatives within each state Department of Transportation (DOT) and the approach to data collection and report preparation has remained unchanged for a number of years. This research project seeks to evaluate the current report and make recommendations for improvements. While the report contains a number of recommendations for changes, the research team is recommending a continuation of the general approach to data collection and report preparation. Although available technology would enable a transition to a web-based data collection approach, given the limited reporting burden under the current approach, the research team recommends a continuation of the Excel-based approach to data collection. The research team also recommends the continued preparation of both hard copy and PDF formats to maximize accessibility to prepared information.

TCRP Report 122: Understanding How to Motivate Communities to Support and Ride Public Transportation provides a comprehensive discussion on the methods and strategies used by public transportation agencies in the United States and Canada to enhance their public images and motivate the support and use of public transportation. Additionally, the report identifies and describes methods and strategies used by other industries (comparable to public transportation) to enhance their public image and to motivate the support and use of their products and services. Also, this report examines the perceptions, misperceptions, and use of public transit, and the extent to which these affect support. Finally, the report identifies effective communication strategies, campaigns, and platforms for motivating individuals to action in support of public transportation, and it recommends ways to execute those communication strategies, campaigns, and platforms. This report will be helpful to transit agencies; elected officials; community leaders; business leaders; and federal, state, and local funding agencies in both the United States and Canada.
