Accessible Vehicles Fleet Configuration
| 项目名称： | Accessible Vehicles Fleet Configuration |
| 摘要： | The increase in the population of frail elderly who are ambulatory but are eligible to use paratransit has increased the demand for paratransit service delivery. This increase has, in turn, led some transit agencies to move away from standard one-vehicle type fleets in favor of a mixed fleet incorporating smaller accessible vehicles and non-accessible (generally sedans) vehicles. The first wave of fleet configuration changes has provided some expected benefits of lower operating costs and service delivery flexibility due to incorporating smaller vehicles into the fleet mix. These changes have also brought forward a set of service delivery issues including increase costs, maintenance concerns, a complication of reassignment of riders, etc. This synthesis will document the different configurations of accessible vehicle fleets owned by transit systems in North America. |
