Abstract:Over the past decade, the rapid development and adoption of mobile phone and telecommunications technology have disrupted established business models by providing mobility services that were previously available primarily through the public sector (particularly public transit agencies) or were privately provided through directly owned and operated vehicles by firms (traditional taxis) or households (private automobile). Transportation has entered an era of immense change, with many transportation network companies (TNCs, e.g., Uber and Lyft) both complementing and competing with public transit. To best serve their communities, public-sector transportation agencies need better information about the degree to which these new mobility services complement or substitute publicly-provided fixed-route mass transit service. A lack of information on TNC usage is a significant barrier to efficient transportation planning and decision-making.
