Methods for Forecasting Demand and Quantifying Need for Rural Passenger Transportation: Final Workbook presents step-by-step procedures for quantifying the need for passenger transportation services and the demand that is likely to be generated if passenger transportation services are provided. These procedures will be of interest to planners in rural areas and operators of rural passenger transportation systems. This report is supplemented by two products: an Excel spreadsheet that can be used to implement the procedures included in the workbook; and a methodology report, TCRP Web-Only Document 58, which documents (1) how the research team developed the need and demand estimation methods, (2) the findings of the analyses, and (3) recommendations for functions to be used in estimation of need and demand. |
