ABSTRACT

Transportation governance is an understudied topic, despite its potential to have significant influences on the quality of transit service, and integration of services across transit agencies. Past research has usually tackled this topic obliquely, or through studies focused on a single region or multiple regions in a single state. The present study builds on this foundation through the systemic analysis of data measuring jurisdictional fragmentation and cross-jurisdictional formal institutions facilitating ties across transit agency and local government jurisdictional boundaries (defined here as regionalization), for example, via state government involvement, multi-jurisdictional organizations, multi-jurisdictional funding, shared board memberships across agencies (conjunctions) and interagency agreements. The authors use comparative case study analysis to examine four highly fragmented metropolitan statistical areas, two with strong cross-jurisdictional institutions, and two where such institutions are comparatively weak, or nonexistent. The objective is to use a cohesive research strategy for measuring different cross-jurisdictional, regionalizing governance strategies with a single indexed measure, and trace narratively how differences in the indexed measure and the institutions it represents correspond to differences in transit system outcomes.

组织交通机构促进跨辖区服务整合:多地区比较案例研究

摘要

交通治理是一个研究不足的话题,尽管它有可能对过境服务的质量和跨过境机构的服务整合产生重大影响。过去的研究通常是间接地解决这个话题,或者通过研究集中在一个地区或一个州的多个地区。本研究建立在此基础上,通过对衡量管辖区碎片化和跨管辖区正式机构的数据进行系统分析,以促进跨过境机构和地方政府管辖边界(此处定义为区域化)的联系,例如,通过州政府的参与、多管辖区组织、多辖区资助、跨机构共享董事会成员(联合)和机构间协议。作者使用比较案例研究分析来检查四个高度分散的大都市统计区域,其中两个具有强大的跨辖区机构,以及两个此类机构相对薄弱或根本不存在的地区。目标是使用一个有凝聚力的研究策略来衡量不同的跨辖区、区域化治理策略,并通过单一的指数衡量指标,并叙述性地追踪指数衡量指标的差异及其所代表的机构如何对应于交通系统结果的差异。
