                    Edited by John C. Weicher

 Transportation experts discuss federal policy, trends in private service provision in
 the United States, and the growing problem of financing transit. They focus on
 innovations such as the use of private contractors by New Jersey Transit; travel
 vouchers; jitney service in Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East; the
 privatization of urban bus service in Britain; and more.
   Contributors include Robert Cervero, Wendell Cox, Ronald F. Kirby, C. Kenneth
 Orski, Jeffrey A. Parker, Jerome C. Premo, Philip J. Ringo, Jay Rogers, Gabriel
 Roth, Joseph P. Schwieterman, Ralph Stanley, Roger F. Teal, George S. Tolley,
 and Alan A. Walters.

   Offers useful alternatives and analysis to the debate that help shape and
 strengthen the future of public transit. The work is important reading, not only for
 those concerned about the future of urban transit, but for all policy makers and
 management planners considering more effective management through privatiza-
 tion.

                                         President's Commission on Privatization

    The historical reason for monopolistic organization of urban transit systems-
 the economies of scale in power distribution of electric street-car systems-disap-
 peared with the streetcar, but public policy unnecessarily perpetuated the economic
 organization. It is becoming clear in most free nations how undesirable this
 organization is. This volume is a useful examination of the competitive alternatives
 being developed domestically and internationally.
