碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 交通運輸研究所 === 88 === Currently, the franchise for local motor carriers is approved directly by local government because there is no reviewing committees. This system was imperfect for its long concession periods, lack of competitors in the market and supervision in the monitoring process. The present practice, which separates application, subsidy and supervision, should be improved to conform the deregulation policy. Therefore, this study applies a systematic method to comprehensively explore the deregulation of motor carriers, and aims at establishing an appropriate system architecture for the institutional design. Four steps structure the system architecture for the deregulation of motor carries: 1) Problem analysis of the Present Institution: Emphasize on discussing the drawbacks of the present institution. 2) Fundamental Concept of the Institution of Deregulation: In both theory and practice, the deregulating franchise will create a competitive market and provide service under contract, which brings benefits such as cost savings, service improvement, and operation efficiency. The research also concludes the design principles, considering aspects of government, operator and user. 3) General Institutional Design of Deregulation: After considering the properties of the institution of deregulating franchise, 5W and 1H (Why, Whom, What, Where, When & How) are chosen as the designing elements. Any possible condition which satisfies the performing situations could be combined as several feasible plans.. 4) Components of the Institution of Deregulation: The critical content of the institution of deregulation is stated individually from organization, application for franchise, norm of operations to legal regulations. At the end, in the case study of the local motor carriers in downtown Taichung, several feasible plans were employed as the references for assigning the routes and working out ways of implementation. Moreover, this study draws up the components of the institution according to the administrative properties, which could be the key reference in the legislative process afterward.
