This research reports on the ridership trends of new start Light Rail Transit (LRT) projects implemented in the last two decades. These systems are colloquially referred to as new start systems. The purpose of the research presented here is to look at the process of maturation of these systems in terms of ridership trends. Each systems ridership is examined, and system extent in terms of route miles and service miles also is examined. The research attempts to discern the impact of service expansion associated with the system synergies that might result from increased accessibility. Performance is evaluated by reviewing ridership changes as LRT systems grow and comparing them with changes in service supply.
