Rural and small urban transit systems across the United States face fiscal challenges caused by the growing gap between the cost of providing transit service and available federal, state, and local funding.. Rural and small urban transit systems also often face high levels of staff turnover and a lack of knowledge management procedures to sustain cost management practices over time. The research team developed a guidebook to equip Texas’ rural and small urban transit system agencies with a reliable go-to resource for cost management best practices.
