donoteat posted:The Truth Transit in Pennsylvania is all kinds of messed up. There was a glimmer of hope that Act 89 would fund infrastructure improvements and bring some increases to mass transit funding, but I've seen reports of that fund being repurposed and might run out prematurely. Counties may have their own transportation service, with some municipalities even maintaining their own services in addition to county-level service. Factor in the fragmented government in the state, and it's kind of insane how arbitrarily service may get drawn and how little agencies receive in funding. It's this circular argument of the agencies would receive more money if ridership were higher, but that ridership would be higher if the agencies could provide more extensive service. The state is trying to unify how agencies do things, such as rolling out a single paratransit scheduling software, but that has its own difficulties as suddenly you can't get information or functionality that your agency relies on. jerry seinfel fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Apr 8, 2016 |
