STUDY OF FUTURE PARATRANSIT REQUIREMENTS. SCENARIO REPORT

The overall objective of the study is to define the future dimensions and characteristics of paratransit and the requirements for testing innovative transportation services for the development of new vehicles, and for ways to overcome legal and institutional constraints. The analysis is based on urban scenarios projected into the 1980-95 time frame and representative of a large number of locations. The report describes how these scenarios were constructed and evaluated and how the findings were aggregated for the entire U.S.
