Title: Innovative Service Delivery Strategies - The ‘Mash-Up’ of Micro-Transit and Paratransit
Preamble: Transit agencies across North America are hemorrhaging riders on conventional transit. At the same time, paratransit programs are experiencing explosive demand challenges which call into question their future sustainability.
