 Statistics are an important tool in evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of Connecticut's transit systems. For each state subsidized service, a chart is provided that shows total revenues (farebox and other), total expenses, the net deficit (expenses minus revenues), and the
ConnDOT share of those expenses (the amount the Department contributed to the system cost). Total passenger trips are shown on the basis of linked passenger trips (number of paid fares). Productivity measures include deficit per passenger (net deficit/passenger trips), cost per passenger (total expenses/passenger trips) and operating ratio (total revenues/total expenses).
Please note that the statistics contained in the report are unaudited numbers. They reflect the information that the individual transit organizations have reported to the Department. Additionally, it should be noted that comparisons between systems are difficult due to the variety of services provided, areas served, and counting methods used.
