• Abstract:
  The Urban Mass Transportation Administration carries out research and development on Areawide Demand Responsive Transportation (AWDRT) systems as part of the Bus and Paratransit Technology activities. AWDRT systems are basically the integration of flexibly routed paratransit with fixed-route transit resulting in increased coverage for public transportation. The AWDRT R&D Program is to develop critical information, procedures and technology now needed to provide the foundation and to assess the potential for evolution of today's fixed-route transit to areawide systems. The program consists of the following elements: -Analysis and assessment of past and current AWDRT experience; -Advancement of AWDRT system design; -Advancement of AWDRT technology; -Dissemination and evaluation of research results and guidelines. This program is divided into two phases with the major decision point occurring after FY77 activities. Both phases of the program, which are subject to change as requirements evolve, are described.
