Revenue allocation methods for integrated transit systems
Abstract Revenue allocation in the context of an integrated transit system involves the splitting of joint revenues derived from passengers taking system trips, that is, trips that involve a transfer between properties of two or more of the participants in an integrated system. The general nature of the revenue allocation problem is first reviewed. Next, a framework for constructing and assessing revenue allocation models is developed. A macroprocess model is described; categories of variables that merit consideration for inclusion in revenue/cost allocation formulas are discussed; and criteria for evaluation of models are examined. After doing this, five general approaches to the problem of allocating joint revenues are discussed and evaluated. Finally, a general revenue-sharing model based on ridership is developed. The model is then used to examine several relevant issues in pricing system trips and fare collection.
