This book was released on 2005 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis documents current and innovative practices of U.S. transit agencies in the development and implementation of passenger no-show and late cancellation policies for paratransit programs operated under the regulatory requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). It describes how some policies are administered, the community response, and their effectiveness in small, medium, and large transit agencies surveyed. It examines policies both as a way to improve system productivity, efficiency, and capacity, and as a means to better serve riders with disabilities who may experience difficulties with the advance reservation aspect of most ADA complementary paratransit operations. This topic is of interest to transit agencies that are responsible for providing ADA complementary paratransit that is efficient, cost-effective, and responsive to customer needs. It is also of interest to the disability community and other stakeholders who are concerned about having access to transportation services that are efficient, cost-effective, and appropriate for customer needs.

A primary purpose of this handbook is to assist transit operators and planners with the preparation of required ADA paratransit plans. The first five chapters summarize the law and complementary paratransit service requirements. Eligibility determination, service criteria, and operating standards and requirements are analyzed in detail. The last four chapters discuss paratransit service models; ways to enhance fixed route service in order to reduce the need for paratransit; the preparation of paratransit plans, including a step-by-step planning methodology; and, key implementation issues such as scheduling, training, equipment, specifications, and recordkeeping.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides a sketch planning model and regional models to (1) improve the ability of metropolitan planning organizations and transit operators to estimate the probable future demand for Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) complementary paratransit service; and (2) predict travel by ADA paratransit-eligible individuals on all modes, not just ADA paratransit. All model parameters and coefficients are contained in this report and a fully implemented version is available on the enclosed CD-ROM, CRP-CD-121. This report will be of interest to regional, state, and federal agencies that oversee, plan, or finance public transportation; public transportation systems that provide ADA complementary paratransit services; and advocates for people with disabilities.

Book excerpt: Paratransit is an essential service for people with disabilities who are unable to use fixed-route transit. Transit agencies are required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to provide complementary paratransit service alongside its fixed-route transportation. It is expensive to operate this service. Currently it costs San Mateo County in California more than $18 million a year to provide ADA paratransit service for 8500 registered customers, representing 12% of the agency’s total operating budget. With such high expenditure, transit agencies are increasingly motivated to make changes to their paratransit model with the objective of reducing costs. At the same time, it is important that the level of service is improved to ensure truly equitable transportation for disadvantaged people. The objective of this study is to assess how transit agencies can reduce paratransit costs without hindering the mobility of people most reliant on these services. This research analyzes the paratransit operation of a mid-sized transit agency, SamTrans in San Mateo County, California, and examines how other transit agencies are modifying their operations. Some cities across the U.S. have been piloting ride-sharing partnerships as an alternative to traditional forms of paratransit, with the hope to shift demand. The analysis of SamTrans and the case studies have then been used to formulate various solutions to reduce paratransit costs and/or improve service in other ways such as on-time performance, communication, demand management and customer convenience. Finally, each solution is rated on a three-point scale to depict their attractiveness compared to business-as-usual.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paratransit service is an auxiliary type of public transportation provided for people with disabilities and older adults. Federal ADA regulations require all transit agencies receiving federal funding to provide paratransit service, but the per trip cost to transit operators is extremely expensive. Many transit agencies are looking for ways to reduce costs without limiting services. For many agencies, this results in providing the minimum services as required by ADA regulations. However, Boston’s Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA) has taken a different approach to cost reduction by entering into one of the first partnerships with transportation network companies. In September 2016, MBTA’s paratransit service, The Ride, began a partnership with both Uber and Lyft as a cost reduction strategy for paratransit provision. Since the beginning of the partnership, MBTA has been able to reduce costs of providing paratransit while maintaining the same level of service. This report will examine the benefits and limitations of such partnerships between transit agencies and transportation network companies, using MBTA’s The Ride partnership as an example for potentially successful partnerships throughout the United States.
