Assessment of Demand Responsive versus Fixed-Route Transit Service: TRI-MET CaseStudy

摘要

This project evaluates the cost-effectiveness of Tri-Met's demand-responsiveservice in the Sunnyside area of Portland. Ridership and costs of demand-responsive service will be related to estimates of ridership and cost for fixed route service in that area. The latter estimates will be generated by GIS-based route demand model developed for Tri-Met by the research team in a previous TransNow sponsored project.
