• Abstract:
  This report documents the development, evolution, and evaluation of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro) Mobility on Demand (MOD) Sandbox Demonstration project, Mobility on Demand Partnership with Via. LA Metro partnered with mobility solutions provider Via to test whether an on-demand rideshare service improved first/last mile access to Metro transit stations in three service zones—Artesia, El Monte, and North Hollywood. The project sought to show how transportation agencies can align Transportation Network Companies (TNC) with planned and existing transit service to serve as an effective and cost-effective first/last mile solution that also ensures equal access and an equivalent level of service for individuals with disabilities and low incomes.
