CAN PUBLIC AGENCIES WORK COOPERATIVELY TO THEIR MUTUAL BENEFIT AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF ITS IN A VERY LARGE RURAL AREA IN NORTHEASTERN MINNESOTA

The Advanced Rural Transportation Information and Coordination (ARTIC) project tests whether public and quasi-public organizations which typically operate independently of each other can, using new, yet proven technologies, coordinate their efforts and improve their individual and overall effectiveness and efficiency. The project has been implemented on a small scale for evaluation purposes. The implementation testing is taking place in three north-central counties in the State of Minnesota. ARTIC participants include the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT), the Minnesota State Patrol (MSP), Arrowhead Transit (AT), a primary public transportation provider, and Virginia Dial-A-Ride (VDAR), a demand-responsive transit service. This paper reports on the early phases of the evaluation. For the covering abstract see IRRD E102946.
