| Abstract | Demand-response transportation, as defined in federal law refers to, “any non-fixed route system of transporting individuals that requires advanced scheduling by the customer, including services provided by public entities, nonprofits, and private providers”. Paratransit is a term often used to refer to demand-response transportation. The State of Delaware provides a high level of paratransit services. The reason for this is that Delaware provides paratransit services to and from any location throughout the entire state. Due to Delaware’s unique paratransit policy, IPA has studied the issue in Delaware for over 10 years. This thesis seeks to continue IPA’s work by investigating the effectiveness of transportation coordination strategies, specifically transportation coordinating councils. By comparing two counties that have similar transportation issues, this study seeks to make recommendations to improve paratransit in Delaware. | en_US |
