| | Public services - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Public services is a term usually used to mean services provided by government to its citizens, either directly (through the public sector) or by financing private provision of services. | | | A public service may sometimes have the characteristics of a public good (being non-rivalrous and non-excludable), but most are merit goods, that is, services which may (according to prevailing social norms) be under-provided by the market. | | | Historically, the widespread provision of public services in developed countries usually began in the late nineteenth century, often with the municipal development of gas and water services. |

| | Online TDM Encyclopedia - Public Transit Improvements |
| | Transit service is generally subsidized (see discussion of costs and subsidies in Transit Evaluation), but these subsidies decline with increased ridership because transit services tend to experience economies of scale (a 10% increase in capacity increases costs by less than 10%). | | | Transit improvements often require public subsidies, but these are often comparable or smaller than subsidies for automobile travel when all costs are considered (Transportation Costs). | | | Transit service improvements are usually more cost effective when matched with incentives for motorists to reduce their driving, such as Commute Financial Incentives, Distance-Based Fees, Parking Pricing and Road Pricing. |

| | NodeWorks - Encyclopedia: Public service advertising |
| | Non-commercial advertising, public service advertising, public interest advertising, issue advertising, cause-related marketing, public education campaigns and social marketing are different terms for (or aspects of) the use of sophisticated marketing communications techniques (generally associated with commercial enterprise) on behalf of non-commercial, public interest initiatives. | | | The same advertising techniques used to promote commercial goods and services can be used to inform, educate and motivate the public about non-commercial issues, such as AIDS, energy conservation, and deforestation. | | | Whatever the reason, advertising's potential as an educational tool is grossly under-utilized. |

| | University of Georgia: Public Service and Outreach |
| | Our service units and public service faculty in the colleges and schools provide resources relating to economic development, K-12 education, leadership development, continuing professional education, and training and research for state agencies. | | | Outreach at UGA is defined as the extension of the university’s resources in the form of professional knowledge and expertise to help communities improve their quality of life. | | | The land-grant university tradition, anchored in the Morrill Act of 1862, strengthened that commitment and introduced the concept that state-supported higher education should be broadly accessible to all classes of Americans. |

| | Although state and federal sources account for a minority percentage of public television funding, the system remains vulnerable to political pressure. | | | Once a program is distributed to PBS, the network (and not the member station which supplied it) retains all rights for rebroadcasts; the suppliers do maintain the right to sell the program in non-broadcast venues such as DVDs, books, and licensed merchandise. | | | However, PBS has a policy of "common carriage" requiring most stations to clear the national prime time programs on a common schedule, so that they can be more effectively marketed on a national basis. |
