This is the final progress report of a four-person month study to evaluate sites in California for testing audiotex/videotex-based Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) and Advanced Public Transportation Systems (APTS) concepts. There are three major reasons for developing the California Smart Traveler (CST) System: 1. To develop new types of public transportation services, particularly ones that are well suited to low-density suburban and rural areas, such as single-trip carpools; 2. To integrate these new services witrh conventional transit, paratransit and ridesharing modes, in order to improve the cost-effectiveness of local and regional public transportation systems; and 3. To provide drivers and riders with more timely and accurate information on which to base local and regional travel decisions. |
