Methodology

Methodology: Transit Weekday Span of Service

This indicator is determined by computing the number of hours between the values reported in the NTD for the average-weekday time service begins and the time service ends. For transit agencies with more than one mode, the system total span of service takes into account the hours of operation for all modes and reports the span of hours that any transit service is provided on a typical weekday.

Calculation
