Cost-saving methods for special transportation programs. Final report
In 1987, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) participated in a demonstration project with the Urban Mass Transportation Administration aimed at reducing capital and operating expenses for Section 16(b)(2) operators. The Louisiana DOTD contracted with Urban Systems, Inc., a transportation consulting firm, to work with Section 16(b)(2) operators in Orleans and Tangipahoa Parishes to find a number of ways to reduce transportation operating costs and to improve transportation services for the elderly and handicapped. The manual presents nine different methods that the contractor identified to help Section 16(b)(2) operators throughout Louisiana to reduce transportation operating costs and to improve transportation services for the elderly and handicapped. Most of the techniques are generally applicable in other states and can be used by operators nationwide.
