Abstract:A project team consisting of the Portage Area Regional Transportation Authority (PARTA), Geauga County Transit, Trapeze Group, and Kotting Consulting assembled a proposal to design a model system of human service transportation coordination using Intelligent Transportation Systems Technology (ITS). This project was one of eight demonstration grant sites, and although each began with similar assumptions and a prescribed methodology, each developed a unique approach to the problem and generated different models. This report summarizes the system development and design work conducted to support a Traveler Management Coordination Center (TMCC) for Human Service Transportation (HST) for the residents of Portage and Geauga counties in Ohio. The TMCC has been designed for the residents of these counties through the cooperation of two transit systems; two county governments; State, regional, and local human service agency leadership; and several public and private transportation and transportation-service related organizations. This TMCC is known as NEORide and has been structured to employ the transportation resources of its members, obtain greater efficiencies and effectiveness through the capture and application of information, and enhance the range and utility of shared-ride transportation.
