摘要: This tool addresses some of the challenges of operating a demand-responsive transit (DRT) system by determining how well a DRT system serves its riders as well as the most efficient ways to improve this service. The DRT Accessibility Tool is transferable, practical, and valuable for all small and medium-sized communities. The tool, which is formulated in Microsoft Access, uses a system of models to simulate actual daily DRT travel patterns for service regions and fleets of any size. Ultimately, DRT system operators can use the Accessibility Tool in two ways. First, they can evaluate their current accessibility levels for various combinations of population groups, times of day, and travel purposes. Second, the Accessibility Tool allows system operators to undertake “what if?” scenarios to evaluate changes in fleet characteristics (supply), population demographics (demand), and service areas (scope). These results have the potential to inform important public transportation planning, budgetary, and policy decisions.
