Abstract

This paper assesses relationships between organizational characteristics of rural transit and performance of rural bus transit in the U.S. Performance of transits are evaluated as a combination of service production efficiency and service reach-out (consumption) effectiveness, using network data envelopment analysis. The analysis finds that none achieve high technical efficiency both in production and consumption, while there exists a desirable operation scale that can attain high scale efficiency for both. Public organizations and municipal organizations area are inefficient in production, while they are effective in consumption. The finding is irrelevant to the service volume, suggesting that economic incentive, institutional capacity, or local knowledge affects the performance. Last, service effectiveness is outstandingly high for tourist transit, suggesting that different evaluation standard should be applied for tourist services.
