• Abstract:
  With ready access to street file names and inexpensive GIS software, paratransit systems can take advantage of GIS technology to evaluate base schedules on a regular basis in order to maintain system efficiency at consistently high levels. This project will develop a methodology to allow frequent analysis of base schedules to update paratransit routes on a semi-annual or annual basis.
