Each summary contains a descrption of the setting, the service concept, project evolution, institutional factos, cost and service characteristics and project impacts. These four projects appear in the UMTA documentary film, Making the Difference, as examples of the variety of approaches available for serving the travel needs of individuals who are unable to use conventional transit services.
