Addressing a group of
transportation leaders at a
workshop sponsored by the
Department of Transportation
of the state of California was
Arthur Saltzman, director of
A&T's Transportation Insti
tute.
The week-long conference is
being held to broaden the
expertise of California's pro
fessional staff in public
transportation planning, de
velopment and innovation.
Tracing the history of the
transit decline in the United
States. Saltzman said:
“The industry’s inability to
respond the changing public
needs with reasonable periods
of time and its lag in adopting
new technology, save as a
stopgap measure, have excer-
bated declining ridership
trends and accelerated change
in mobility habits of the
public.” .
In his paper, Saltzman said
the industry's problems were
accelerated by two govern
ment antitrust decisions.
One of these ruled that most
electric power and petroleum
trusts could no longer hold
wide-ranging financial inte
rests in transit operations.
