Abstract:Public agencies confront numerous challenges providing off-peak and low-density public transportation services. Low ridership means high-frequency public transportation may not be financially viable. Current demographic shifts—including population growth and increasing suburbanization—may exacerbate these existing challenges. Mobility on Demand (MOD)—a concept based on the principle that transportation is a user-centric commodity—is a potential opportunity for public transportation agencies to bridge these spatial and temporal public transportation gaps. The U.S. Department of Transportation conducted a research study to understand how MOD can be effectively used to address existing service gaps during offpeak periods and in low-density built environments.
