Introduction

The Georgia Transit Data Fact Book is published annually by the Georgia Department of Transportation. This report summarizes scal years 2007-2011 operations data for the 14 urban public transit systems and the 112 rural public transit systems in the Georgia. We also have included other related activities, including the park and ride lot program, rail passenger program and the intercity bus program. ! This Georgia Transit Data Fact Book is published primarily to provide information about the performance of Georgia public transportation programs during the preceding scal year. The publication receives wide distribution to local and state of cials, planners, researchers and other organizations that use the document as a reference for public transportation activity in our state.

The operations data compiled in this report for urban and rural systems was obtained from a variety of sources, including an annual survey of transit systems, operating reports, and on-board surveys conducted by the Department. The Atlanta area system (MARTA) and Cobb Community Transit (CCT) conduct their own surveys. Data for the Douglas County Rideshare Program, rural public transportation systems, the park and ride lot program, and the rail passenger services is collected throughout the year.

To address the need to improve ef ciency, facilitate decisionmaking and protect the state's investment in transit, the Department implemented the Management Information System (MIS) based on the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) National Transit Database. This MIS has resulted in the development of additional tools for analyzing cost ef ciency, cost and service effectiveness as well as service supplied and consumed.

Acknowledgments

The Georgia Department of Transportation wishes to express its sincere appreciation to transit managers, transit planners, state and local of cials who provided assistance during the preparation of this document.
