Abstract:

In November 1980, the Tidewater Regional Transit Authority (TRT) Implemented a series of shared-ride taxi services under the program name "Maxi-Taxi" (name which was subsequently changed to Maxi-Ride to avert legal challenges). These services, supplied through competitive contract with private taxi operators, were initiated as cost-saving measures. The program was funded by demonstration grants received from the U.S. Department of Transportation, under the National Reidesharing Demonstration Program, and the State of Virginia. Maxi-Taxi services were used to expand public transportation service in low-density areas and also to replace various unproductive fixed-route bus operations. TRT also experimented successfully with various jitney-type operations. Considerable experience with costs, performance, demand, contracting procedures and management was gained through the demonstration. TRT's retention of many of the experimental services after the demonstration's conclusion in December 1981 and continued exploration of similar services is evidence of their belief that the Maxi-Taxi is a viable service concept.
