Journal Article · · ITE J.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6544415
Paratransit services are being considered for an increasing role in serving travel needs. The three basic paratransit subdivisions are discussed: hail or phone services, hire and drive services, and prearranged ridesharing. These include taxi cabs, car pools, and subscription bus services. Planning for paratransit services requires coordination between the operation of transit and paratransit systems. Regulatory and managerial considerations are reviewed. (18 references)
