The objectives of this research were to provide a basic background on both Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) Systems and demand responsive programs. AVL systems are discussed including the various components technologies and operations that are available. Demand responsive programs are briefly described, with emphasis placed on paratransit programs. The benefits and limitations of a coordinated AVL system and paratransit program are also discussed.
