Download or read book Workbook for Estimating Demand for Rural Passenger Transportation written by SG Associates and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report will be of interest to agencies engaged in planning, operating, or funding passenger transportation services in rural areas. The objectives were to evaluate current methods used to forecast rural passenger transportation demand and to develop improved methods. The materials presented in this Workbook describe the types of information required to develop estimates of passenger transportation demand and step-by-step instructions, with examples and computation forms, for developing the demand estimates. For the most part, the data--related to social service program enrollment, demographic characteristics of the service area, and the quantity of service available--should be relatively easy to obtain. U.S. Census reports, county agencies, and transportation providers will be the best sources. For data that may not be readily available, alternative estimation methods are provided.

Download or read book Developing Enhancing and Sustaining Tribal Transit Services written by Albert T. Stoddard and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2012 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides an overview of the tribal transit planning process and detailed guidance about the various steps for planning and implementing a tribal transit system. The steps that are described may be used for planning a new transit system, enhancing an existing service, or taking action to sustain services. While the guidebook is primarily aimed at tribal transit planners, it will also be of interest to tribal transportation planners and liaisons at all levels of government. In the research effort, data were collected from 67 tribes during Phase 1 and more detailed information was collected from 48 tribes during Phase 2. Fifteen tribes were visited for the development of case studies. Data were collected regarding the type of transit services, the size and scope of the transit programs, and funding approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report's findings indicate seven factors that influence rural public transit systems. The factors that were reported by the survey recipients match relatively closely with the predominant literature: 1. Showing need and demand is the most important factor in creating a rural public transit system. 2. Funding is the major barrier. 3. Citizen participation and support is very important to the process. 4. Political and/or city council support. 5. Expert or technical help was necessary. 6. Fare box recovery rate. 7. And finally, the ability to connect with other modes of transportation. Within the literature, the study found that there were many other barriers to an effective rural public transit system. Coordination almost always seems inadequate, although difficult because of the inherent needs of the rider, such as a special needs rider that cannot be accommodated by a regular van provided by a transit partner. Also, many times there has been mention of the 'true costs' of establishing a system or the difficulties of obtaining funding or working with a local department of transportation. Especially interesting was the inherent difficulties experienced by the Indian tribes in providing service on the reservations and meeting the requirements to obtain funding.

Download or read book Traveler Response to Transportation System Changes written by Franklin Spielberg and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demand responsive transit, sometimes referred to as dial-a-ride or, more generally, paratransit, includes those services where a transit vehicle does not operate a fixed route, but rather calls at selected geographic points in response to specific service requests. Service may or may not be provided on a fixed schedule. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) services are a subgroup designed specifically for persons who, because of a disability, cannot access or ride available fixed route services. Traveler response and related information are presented in this chapter for both services open to the general public and ADA services intended for persons with disabilities. This chapter, Chapter 6, will be of interest to transit and transportation planning practitioners, educators, researchers, and professionals across a broad spectrum of transportation and planning agencies; metropolitan planning organizations; and local, state, and federal government agencies.
