During the COVID-19 pandemic, ridership plummeted, and fare revenues decreased dramatically, leaving agencies struggling to maintain services. We compare transit agencies' revenue sources before versus during the pandemic, finding that agencies with more diverse funding portfolios proved more resilient to shock.
