Please continue to assist us in this effort by completing and sending in the update forms which are located at the end of the Directory. To include your information in our 1988 edition, we must adhere to a closing date of June 30, 1988, to receive the forms. Send them to; Mr. Ronald J. Fisher Director, Information Services Staff Office of Technical Assistance Urban Mass Transportation Administration 400 Seventh Street, S. W. Washington, D. C. 20590 Perhaps you have some thoughts on how we can make the Directory more useful. Please include these comments in the information you send or drop me a note directly. I do appreciate the feedback on how our agency can be of more service to the industry. Sincerely, Alfred A. DelliBovi Enclosure - INTRODUCTION - For purposes of this Directory compilation, two types of transit services are included: conventional and specialized. A conventional transit operation is a fixed route, reaularly scheduled service available to the aeneral public, offerina rides wholly within, or commuter rides from outside, a particular urbanized area (UZA). Specialized transit services are largely demand-responsive and consist of various types of vehicles, such as buses, minibuses, vans, taxis, station waaons, etc. These services must operate at least 50 percent of the time in order to be included in this Directory. Information is provided for 931 conventional and specialized local public transit operations in 316 UZAs of over 50,000 population. UZAs have been identified and maps showina UZA borders by state appear in a U.S. Census Bureau Supplementary Rep.ort — Publication No. PC80-S1- 14, entitled Population and Land Area of Urbanized Areas for the United States and Puerto Rico: 19P0 and 1970. The Non-Urbanized Transportation Service Directory, which reports transit service available in communities of less than 50,000 population, is published under separate cover. It also includes specialized service transit operations. Used together, these two Directories are intended to represent the transit community within the United States. For more information pertaining to the Urban Directory, please contact: U.S. Department of • Transporta tion Urban Mass Transportation Administration Office of Information Services, URT-7 400 Seventh Street, SW , Room 6419 Washington, DC 20590 Telephone: (202) 366-0205 Information contained in this Directory originated from survey calls made to the various transit agencies between October 1985 and July 1986. Current chanaes were made from update forms that were sent in by the agencies from January 1987 through June 1987. The vehicle count shown by the agencies in this Directory reflects the number of vehicles used in their most recent peak season, which is normally in the Spring of the year. Consult the Glossary on page 95 for our definition of peak vehicles. ******* A special note of thanks is extended to all those who assisted us in updating this Directory. - I - - ORGANIZATION OF THE DIRECTORY - This Directory is orqanized to meet a wide var-dety of informational needs and is structured to be both easy and flexible in the method of data access. For the informational needs of the user, the follow- ina lists are provided in this Directory: Transit Agencies; Urbanized Areas (UZAs) Listed by Population; UZAs that Cross State Lines; Vehicle Summary Counts; and a Glossary of Terms. The chart-type sheets beginning on page 31 comprise the main part of the Directory. These sheets are known collectively as the Master List. Each sheet in the Master List provides the number of peak vehicles, aaency contact person, address, and telephone number. The organizations are listed in alphabetical order by State, UZA, Section 9 Designated Recipient, Transit Agency, and Subdivision. In many cases, transit agencies receive their funding through another local agency termed a Section 9 Desianated Recipient. These transit agencies are listed directly under the agency throuoh which they receive funding. In other cases, the Desig- nated Recipient and the transit agency are the same. These agencies are identified by a caret(>). private transit operators are identified by an asterick {*) and either appear directly under the name of the transit agency with which they have a contract or at the top of the list for a par- ticular UZA if they have no contract with a transit agency. - HOW TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL COPIES OF THE DIRECTORY - This Directory has been distributed to each agency listed herein as well as to those individuals and organizations which requested a copy. If you would like an additional copy or copies (up to 3), please call or send your request, along with a self addressed qummed label to the address shown in the Introduction on page I. - DIRECTORY UPDATE INFORMATION - Although care has been taken to compile reliable information, please realize that a project such as this is bound to contain errors or out- of-date information.

    (Slip Opinion) OCTOBER TERM, 2014 1 Syllabus NOTE: Where it is feasible, a syllabus (headnote) will be released, as is being done in connection with this case, at the time the opinion is issued. The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus COMPTROLLER OF THE TREASURY OF MARYLAND v. WYNNE ET UX. CERTIORARI TO THE COURT OF APPEALS OF MARYLAND No. 13–485. Argued November 12, 2014—Decided May 18, 2015 Maryland’s personal income tax on state residents consists of a “state” income tax, Md. Tax-Gen. Code Ann. §10–105(a), and a “county” in- come tax, §§10–103, 10–106. Residents who pay income tax to anoth- er jurisdiction for income earned in that other jurisdiction are al- lowed a credit against the “state” tax but not the “county” tax. §10– 703. Nonresidents who earn income from sources within Maryland must pay the “state” income tax, §§10–105(d), 10–210, and nonresi- dents not subject to the county tax must pay a “special nonresident tax” in lieu of the “county” tax, §10–106.1. Respondents, Maryland residents, earned pass-through income from a Subchapter S corporation that earned income in several States. Respondents claimed an income tax credit on their 2006 Maryland income tax return for taxes paid to other States. The Mary- land State Comptroller of the Treasury, petitioner here, allowed re- spondents a credit against their “state” income tax but not against their “county” income tax and assessed a tax deficiency.

  • December 8, 2020 the Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State Of
    December 8, 2020 The Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State of California State Capitol, Suite 1173 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Governor Newsom: Bay Area transit systems continue to struggle in the face of dramatically reduced ridership and revenues due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This challenge was already the most significant crisis in the history of public transportation, and now it has persisted far longer than any of us would have predicted. Since the beginning, our workers have been on the front lines, doing their jobs as essential workers, responsible for providing other front line workers with a way to safely travel to and from essential jobs. Now that the availability of a vaccine is on the horizon, we are proud to echo the attached call from the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU). Specifically, we urge you to work to ensure that transit, paratransit, and school transportation workers are prioritized along with other essential workers to receive the vaccine following the critical need to vaccinate the State’s healthcare workers. Even with reduced ridership, an average of 8 million monthly riders continue to depend on Bay Area transit services. These riders are the healthcare workers, grocery clerks, caregivers, emergency services personnel and others doing the critical work that has kept California functioning during the pandemic. They cannot continue to do so without access to reliable public transportation, and are therefore dependent on the health of the transit workers that serve them every day. Our agencies have worked hard to ensure the public health of riders and transit workers during this crisis. We coordinated to develop the Riding Together: Bay Area Healthy Transit Plan, which includes a baseline set of measures aimed at minimizing virus transmission on our systems.

    Hofstra University, Department of Global Studies & Geography, Honors Essay Public Transit in New York The Past and Future of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Michael Carrigy Fall 2010 Supervised by Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue Table of Contents Introduction: Public Transportation in the United States 3 New York’s MTA and Its Subsidiaries 7 MTA’s Departmental Structure 11 The MTA’s Report Card 19 Planning for the Future 26 Appendix 30 Bibliography 51 2 Introduction: Public Transportation in the United States The Rise of the Suburb and the Decline of the Inner City From the 1950s to the 1970s, race riots, deindustrialization, the rise of consumerism, and the rise of the automobile contributed to the decline of America’s cities and the rise of the suburbs. For instance, downtown Hempstead lost its major department store and saw a decline in population and a rise in crime. Nearby in Levittown, houses were mass produced for market consumption at a time when demand for detached suburban style houses skyrocketed. The pressure for housing not only came from a housing shortage for returning veterans but from FHA policies which subsidized mortgages for new houses. The policy made it significantly cheaper in some cases to buy a new home than to either rent an apartment or refurbish an existing home. To serve these low density areas, malls, just like the Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City, were erected in suburban places across the country. Roosevelt Field gladly made up for Hempstead’s diminishing retailing in its downtown. Due to an increase in the number of malls, many cities saw areas just outside of their downtown decline into severe and in some cases complete abandonment.
