abstract: Many studies [1-4] have shown that improving bus-based public transport is a more cost-effective and flexible
option compared with rail investment. The Taiwanese National Road Public Transport Plan (NRPTP) was launched
in 2010 to increase bus patronage and public transport market share in Taiwan. A qualitative method was adopted to
explore the key factors influencing attainment of NRPTP objectives. The key factors include a lack of understanding
of NRPTP objectives within implementing agencies, patchy local road public transport proposals, insufficient
implementing capacity, insufficient skilled street-level-bureaucrats, lack of Mayoral commitments and resource
limitations. In addition, this study draws out some suggestions for the next period (2017-2020) of NRPTP
implementation. The suggestions include a method to formulate the policy objectives, NRPTP guidance revision,
adjustment of the policy implementation process, better monitoring, providing greater support to the local
implementing agencies, raising NRPTP implementation up the list of priorities within local authorities, and relaxing the current limitations on budget spending.
