Best Practices in Coordination of Public Transit and Ride Sharing

项目名称：	Best Practices in Coordination of Public Transit and Ride Sharing
摘要：	Shared-Use Mobility (SUM) commonly includes ride sharing, car sharing, ride hailing, microtransit, mobility on demand, and vanpooling services/systems, as well as other forms of transportation services that are shared among users, as defined in TCRP Research Report 188. The emergence of SUM practices in urban areas raises the question of how any of these practices can be applied in less populated areas. There may be an opportunity to use these urban SUM practices to address the unmet transportation needs in less populated communities. SUM applications have been successful at connecting people to mobility options, and there is increasing interest by small urban, rural, and frontier communities to pursue partnerships/SUM practices as a means to improve overall mobility and accessibility. In less densely populated areas, fewer private transportation options, greater distances between origins and destinations, limited public transportation staff and resources, and lack of supporting infrastructure (e.g., wireless cellular network coverage and broadband) create challenges to successfully implement SUM options. However, some of these SUM options from urban areas may be properly scaled. Research is needed to further existing research in this area to aid state departments of transportation (DOTs) in providing technical assistance to public transportation providers in order to meet the increasingly varied transportation needs of communities. The following reports produced results about SUM as it relates to its emergence as a new form of transportation and impact on urban public transportation, as well as broad case studies to encourage partnerships with public transportation in rural areas, but these reports do not adequately address the needs of implementing SUM in collaboration with public transportation in less densely populated areas: NCHRP 20-65 Task 76, TCRP Research Report 195, and TCRP Research Report 196. The objective of this research is to provide state DOTs and public transportation providers with a report and implementation guidebook on innovative applications for integrating public transportation in less populated areas with SUM services and providers. For this research, SUM services include ride sharing, car sharing, ride hailing, microtransit, mobility on demand, and vanpooling services/systems. The report must include case studies of urban, rural, and frontier partnerships. The case studies, will at a minimum, highlight challenges and solutions addressing the following: (1) ADA accessibility, (2) regulatory, policy, and funding issues, (3) service and cost efficiency, (4) scalability to small urban, rural, and frontier communities, (5) liability concerns, and (6) data security.
