      <title>Mobility on Demand (MOD) Sandbox Demonstration: Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) Public-Private-Partnership for Paratransit, Evaluation Report</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1951999</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report presents the results of an independent evaluation of the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) Public-Private-Partnership for Paratransit Demonstration project, part of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Mobility on Demand (MOD) Sandbox program. PSTA currently spends around 10% of its operating budget to provide service to over 12,500 eligible customers of its Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-mandated paratransit service, performing over 275,000 annual paratransit trips through its Demand Response Transportation (DART) Program. DART’s lack of flexibility and pick-up time reliability are general complaints from paratransit customers. In addition, it is anticipated that paratransit services will need to be expanded to meet the demand in growth of an aging population, which will increase costs. To increase the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of paratransit services while improving customer mobility and accessibility throughout Pinellas County, Florida, the project aimed to develop an integrated platform that provided on-demand curb-to-curb paratransit service through partnerships with Lyft, United Taxi, Care Ride, Wheelchair Transport, and Goin Software. The evaluation of the PSTA Public-Private-Partnership for Paratransit project assessed its effect on user wait times, travel times, accessibility, and mobility and its impact on system operating cost and payment methods. Overall, the results of the analysis showed that the pilot program provided an efficient paratransit service and improved the mobility and accessibility of customers within Pinellas County. The evaluation supported the hypotheses that the service accommodated diversified trip purposes and increased the flexibility of departure times for its users. Most hypotheses within this evaluation were supported, and the project produced lessons learned that may advance the design and implementation of similar projects in the future.]]></description>

      <title>Mobility on Demand (MOD) Sandbox Demonstrations Independent Evaluation (IE) – Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) – Public-Private-Partnership for Paratransit Mobility on Demand Demonstration (P4-MOD) Evaluation Plan</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1628351</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Mobility on Demand (MOD) Sandbox Demonstration Program provides a venue through which integrated MOD concepts and solutions – supported through local partnerships – are demonstrated in real-world settings. For each of the 11 MOD Sandbox Demonstration projects, the MOD Sandbox Independent Evaluation includes an analysis of project impacts from performance measures provided by the project partners, as well as an assessment of the business models used. This report constitutes the Evaluation Plan for the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) Public-Private-Partnership for Paratransit Mobility on Demand Demonstration (P4-MOD) Sandbox project. It includes the following chapters: project overview; evaluation approach and process; evaluation schedule and management; and data collection and analysis plan]]></description>

      <title>THE MOD: A MODULAR URBAN TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/26043</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The MOD is described as an urban transportation system which is based on a very small, two-passenger automotive rental vehicle using existing city roadways at the exclusion of the private passenger car.  The proposed units of the MOD system have an empty weight of 300 pounds and have provisions for easy vertical parking.  The MOD system is proposed as a self-supporting operation, run by private enterprise as a public utility.  The urban transportation offered by the MOD system generates the set of institutional problems involved in proposals which exclude the private passenger car from the city.  /Author/]]></description>
