GIS-based Resources for Selected Demand Response Transit (DRT) Providers Within Texas / Ready-to-Apply Versions of the DRT Accessibility Tool for the Selected DRT Providers Within Texas

This comprehensive guide, on a CD-ROM, provides all of the information necessary to effectively use the Demand Response Transit (DRT) Accessibility Tool, including background literature, underlying methodology, and step-by-step instructions. The DRT Accessibility Tool was developed to provide the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Public Transportation Division staff and other transportation professionals within the state of Texas a tool to measure and benchmark the level of accessibility for DRT systems. The tool, which is formulated in Microsoft Access, uses a system of models to simulate actual daily DRT travel patterns for service regions and fleets of any size. In the end, transit system operators and planners have the option of measuring accessibility for various combinations of population groups, times of day, and travel purposes. The goal is to provide decision-makers with detailed information that will enable them to pinpoint areas where DRT service needs improvement or specific populations that need to be targeted.
