• Abstract:
  The increasing expense of providing paratransit service for special needs riders has created a challenge for Florida’s public transportation agencies. These agencies are continually in search of methods to control or reduce paratransit costs so they can maintain a high level of service for the special needs riders. Researchers from the University of South Florida conducted a study to evaluate paratransit cost factors and identify best practices in cost containment.
