The Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) was busy in 2017, publishing a number of innovative reports addressing a wide range of strategic and operational issues, including:

Report 191: Public Transportation Guidebook for Small- and Medium-Sized Public-Private Partnerships (P3s), which addresses why and when to consider P3s, what types of initiatives may be undertaken and how to effectively undertake these initiatives.
Report 192: Decision-Making Toolbox to Plan and Manage Park-and-Ride Facilities for Public Transportation: Guidebook on Planning and Managing Park-and-Ride, which provides approaches to managing park-and-ride facilities and includes such topics as design, implementation, operations and maintenance.
Legal Research Digest (LRD) 48: Legal Issues Concerning Transit Agency Use of Electronic Customer Data, which explores the advantages, disadvantages, risks and benefits for moving to electronic, cloud-based and other computerized systems for fare purchases and for communicating with customers.
