Abstract:This Paratransit Handbook has been developed to aid public officials, planners and system operators in planning, designing, implementing, operating and evaluating integrated paratransit systems. The Handbook represents a compendium of techniques and experience drawn from existing dial-a-bus and shared-ride taxi paratransit systems. Five interrelated sections in two volumes comprise the Handbook; Volume I; Part 1, the Introduction, summarizes the current state-of-the-art of integrated paratransit systems; Part 2, Creating the System, contains prescriptive guidance for the individual tasks required in planning, designing, implementing, operating and evaluating integrated systems. Each element of this key section contains over-view flow diagrams showing the major relationship of individual tasks, cross-references to more detailed examples contained in other sections of the Handbook, and a summary of pitfalls to be avoided. Part 3, System Characteristics, summarizes the operating characteristics of over 100 dial-a-ride and shared-ride taxi systems, and presents specific guidance regarding target market systems for the elderly and handicapped. Volume II; Part 4, SCRAPS, contains detailed information on Service Components, Regulations, Analytical Procedures, and Sources to complement the planning and design process. Part 5 contains Appendices, including references, a glossary, summaries of individual system characteristics and other technical material.
