This blog has done a lot of data analysis on the transit system in Reno over the years, also plenty of wild speculation when no data was available.
It was good to see the RTC send out some great information as a staff report for their November 9 Public Transit Advisory Committee meeting. This staff report relies heavily on a draft Parsons-Brinkerhoff study of the RTC’s transit services and includes some comparisons to similar sized cities around the country which were contacted as part of the research. This is a great report and of vital interest to anyone who wants to understand the numbers involved in RTC’s transit operations.
If that were not enough, there is more good information available on the RTC Plan 2 Ride website, which is about a short-range transit plan. Seems the RTC is out to find out what kind of transit system the people of the Truckee Meadows really want. This “Transit 101” stuff is useful in helping make sure all the participants in the discussion have been exposed to the same common information.
