Abstract:This volume addresses general community paratransit services in small cities and metropolitan areas, with the latter separated into suburban and inner city areas. Systems designed for neighborhood/community circulation and those designed to be integrated with existing line haul transit are both addressed. Within these contexts, included are a range of service options, like dial-a-ride/shared-ride taxi, route and point deviation, checkpoint services, jitney, and intra-community "flexible" fixed route services. The report also looks at factors which may influence the future direction for general community paratransit. Some of these topics include energy availability and cost, reductions in transit subsidies, migratory and development patterns, and technological advances.
