Funding Source Allocation for Subsidizing the Elderly and Handicapped in Public Transportation / 大眾運輸法定優待票價差額補貼財源籌措之研究

碩士 / 國立成功大學 / 交通管理學系碩博士班 / 95 / Lately, Taiwan government has paid much more attention to the social welfare policies, so the policy of discounted fare ticket in public transportation has become more and more important. Central government, local government and all kinds of the transportation departments have all started to set up some preferential treatments to these elderly and handicapped citizens when these people would have to use the public transportation. They hope these policies made would improve the social welfare in transportation.
  The laws in our country regulate that when the elderly and handicapped use the public transportation, they would have a premium of half ticket price. And the government should subsidize the shortage cased by this welfare policy.
  The suggested funding sources of the national government include General Budget, Air Pollution Fee, Social Welfare Fund, National Annuity in Lottery Revenues, Motor Fuel Usage Fee and National Freeway Construction and Management Fund. After we analyze some expert questionnaires filling by some professionals of finance and directorate general of budget, we recommend the proportion of the shortage with each source should share.
  Finally, we give some suggestions in this paper. First of all, we recommend the Directorate-General of Budget, Environmental Protection Administration, Ministry of the Interior and Ministry of Transportation and Communications to bear the funding as suggested by this research, but if the funding source is not enough, we suggest the short-haul transit carriers be subsidized first. Secondly, we propose to establish “Mass Transit Development Fund”, and this fund should include each source and new taxes we’ve considered in the research. Thirdly, in the future, if this social welfare policy in transportation would like to go on well, all the transportation carriers would have to cancel the old tick fare count formula in cross subsidization. Then the policy could just put in practice.
