How does DRPT use performance data?

Accepted Answer

Each year, as part of the MERIT (Making Efficient and Responsible Investments in Transit) grant program, DRPT allocates state operating assistance funding to transit agencies across the Commonwealth. The MERIT &#8211; Operating Assistance formula utilizes a performance-based methodology based on a combination of an agency’s sizing and performance factors including operating costs, ridership, vehicle revenue miles and hours. Sizing factors represent an agency’s relative size to other agencies across Virginia. Performance factors represent an agency’s performance trend for a given metric relative to statewide trends for all agencies.
