However, St. Johns County, FL, and Northwestern stand out as outliers with notably larger service areas and populations, leading to a substantial deviation from the typical comparison. When these two outliers are excluded and KWT is compared to the remaining five peers, KWT’s service area size is 240% larger than the peer group mean and its population is only 22% smaller than the combined average of the remaining five peers. » KWT completed 9% less passenger trips than the peer mean. » KWT exceeded the peer group mean by 4% in vehicle revenue miles. » KWT exceeded the peer group mean by 23% in revenue hours. » KWT has 8% more revenue vehicles and 47% more service vehicles than all peers. » Overall, KWT performed better than its peer group
