Description: This paper presents a new funding model for urban transit systems. It is "performance-driven" in that it captures the performance of transit systems in attracting riders in a cost-effective manner, as well as recognizes that transit system funding needs vary with transit system scale of operations. It also allocates funding on a weighted per capita basis, thereby addressing equity concerns. Recent data for Canadian transit systems are used to illustrate the application of this funding model to real-world operations.
