• Abstract:
  This report describes shared-ride taximeter equipment and operating issues and then identifies the state-of-the-art and the future potential for shared-ride taximeter services. Data were collected as the evaluation contractor to the jointly sponsored U.S. and California Department of Transportation's demonstration project to test shared-ride taximeter services, from U.S. and foreign taximeter manufacturers and from related shared-ride taxi research. General Conclusions, specific equipment findings and future recommendations are identified.
