Resumoexpenditures per revenue vehicle hour; (4) revenue passengers divided by the service area population; (5) total passengers per vehicle; (6) revenue passengers per revenue vehicle hour; (7) operating expenditures divided by total passengers; (8) operating expenditures divided by revenue passengers; (9) percent of population served. State funded research includes: Gordon J. Fielding and Roy Glauthier, Distribution and of Subsidies in Institute of Transportation Studies, University of California, Irvine, September 1976, which considers funding allocation as a function of performance necessary because current subsidy systems do not encourage efficiency and more effective service; and State of California, Joint Legislative Audit Committee, Office of the Auditor General, Report to the California Legislature 295, Financing and Evaluating Public Systems in January 1977, which recommended a system for routinely measuring the efficiency and effectiveness of California's transit operations. Later the federal government funded further work, including Gordon Fielding, et al., Development of Indicators for Transit, Institute of Transportation Studies, University of California, Irvine, December 1977; and Ernest Fuller, Jr., Performance Measures for Public Service, State of California, December 1978 (CA-09-8001, DMT-033). Forty transit performance measures are evaluated and Caltrans experience with them is described in Herbert Drosdat, Transit Measures: Their Significance in Local Funding Allocation (University of Washington, Department of Civil Engineering, 1977, unpublished dissertation). 22. Some of the shortcomings of the productivity program, and a suggestion for change, are discussed in Judith Lamare, Can Assistance Policy Produce Improved Industry Performance, Journal, Volume 6, Number 4 (Fall 1980).
