  abstract: This dissertation examines the diffusion of regulatory
  abstract: compliance in the context of public transportation and the
  abstract: Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Time-of-compliance
  abstract: with ADA paratransit requirements by Metropolitan Transit
  abstract: Authorities (MTAs) has varied widely. The timing of
  abstract: regulatory compliance makes a difference in when a particular
  abstract: benefit or program becomes available. Given the multi-year
  abstract: implementation periods of some regulations, the impact of
  abstract: early compliance is significant. Time-of-compliance is
  abstract: examined using data from 182 MTAS, representing 30 states and
  abstract: eight of the ten Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
  abstract: Regions. Regression analysis is used to identify two
  abstract: candidate models composed of level of service, organizational
  abstract: efficiency, character of service, and either organizational
  abstract: size or constituency size. Further explanation is provided
  abstract: by characterizing ADA as "radical" policy (meaning moral and
  abstract: beyond the normal pluralist compromise based process), and
  abstract: analyzing it as a problem in the distribution of benefits and
  abstract: costs set in an advocacy coalition framework. The synthesis
  abstract: of the three approaches (regression, distribution of benefits
  abstract: and costs, and advocacy coalition framework) produces a view
  abstract: of the time of ADA compliance by MTAs as essentially a
  abstract: rational risk minimization strategy which is confounded by
  abstract: the unique nature of the ADA as "radical" policy. An
  abstract: empirically derived ideal type of regulatory compliance is
  abstract: developed. Practical applications beyond ADA are suggested,
  abstract: as well as future research.
