The financing of American transit services is based on two principles of equity: the ability-to-pay principle or the benefit principle. Sixty per cent of current transit revenues come from local, state, and federal tax sources with no clear cut identification available as to which level of government should carry the greatest amount of responsibility. This mix of tax sources for transit financing was recently favored in a national survey of transit officials. The same survey respondents favored additional means of transit revenue sources; gasoline and motor vehicle registration taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, payroll and profits taxes, and local excise taxes on alcohol and cigarettes. 6 figures, 3 tables.
