Abstract:

As communities continue to move toward providing a wide range of public transportation ; services – often referred to as the “family of services” – one common concern is the rising ; costs of providing services, specifically those falling under the paratransit umbrella. Although ; paratransit services are usually the most efficient way to provide specialized needs or life ; sustaining service for the most vulnerable citizens, they are typically the most expensive, least ; available, and most difficult to coordinate. Cities, counties, states, and other transportation ; agencies that provide or purchase paratransit services are continually pursuing methods to ; contain, control or reduce paratransit costs. ; The purpose of this project was to define types of paratransit services and their ; characteristics, document major paratransit expense factors and their trends, and identify and ; document best practices in paratransit cost containment.
