OSTI ID:5616444

This handbook addresses the procedural difficulties in the development of contractual relationships between private operators and public agencies. The handbook focuses primarily on transit programs funded by UMTA. It is designed for private operators, not public agencies, and consists of practical how-to-do-it information about contracting. The market opportunities available through urban and rural transportation operators, cities and counties, human services agencies, schools, airports, and other sources are discussed. An overview of various funding sources, program trends and policies, and regulations of these programs that affect private sector participation is provided. The mechanics of the contracting process and how an operator can increase effectiveness in pursuing business contracts in transit is also addressed.
