Table 4-7: <br /> EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS MEASURES WHICH COULD BE <br /> USED TO EVALUATE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE <br /> Performance Measures Range of Values(1) OPT FY94 <br /> Performance <br /> Service Effectiveness <br /> Trips per mile 0.22-0.40(2) 0.23 <br /> Trips per hour 1.76-4.74(2) 4.26 <br /> Cost Effectiveness <br /> Cost per trip $2.51 -$4.17(3) $4.80 <br /> Resource Efficiency <br /> Cost per hour $6.32-$15.16(4) $20.43 <br /> Cost per mile $0.71 -$ 1.29(4) $1.09 <br /> (1) Based on FY90 statistics from 14 other North Carolina transportation systems. <br /> The range is essentially one standard deviation for all measures. <br /> (2) The higher the number,the higher the effectiveness. <br /> (3) The higher the cost,the lower the effectiveness. <br /> (4) The higher the cost,the lower the efficiency. <br /> (5) Based upon costs,trips,miles,and hours for OPT. <br /> Note: OPTS costs per trip,and costs per hour are higher than the <br /> comparison group;these discrepancies are mainly due to the large number <br /> of costly long distance medical trips which are unique to OPT. <br /> -55- <br />
