Abstract:This report proposes to conduct a comprehensive investigation of active and inactive partnerships between transit agencies and TNCs in Pinellas County to enhance understanding of project development and how the partnership can be cost-effectively achieved. This report used a spatiotemporal analysis and on the Direct Connect rides over the past three years (2018 to 2020), which tells the spatiotemporal characteristics of the ride demand. The results of panel data analysis manifest how much the Uber contributes to the transit ridership. Cost-efficiency analysis, and scenario analysis examines the whether the Direct Connect program are cost-efficient and proposes two potential scenarios to increase the cost-efficiency of program. The geographically weighted regression model is also applied to both the Direct Connect and TD-Late Shift ridership. Several variables are identified to have significant impacts on the ridership of the programs. Finally, the two satisfaction surveys are conducted to the users of Direct Connect and TD-Late Shift services. Important findings are found to help to further improve the Direct Connect and TD-Late Shift services.
