Moreover, with increasing numbers of local CASD system implementations, state departments of transportation have only recently realized the need to incorporate feedback from paratransit providers in developing statewide strategies regarding future deployments of such systems. While considering the variety of needs of Illinois paratransit operators, this paper develops three different CASD deployment scenarios: a centralized, a decentralized, and a regional deployment. The consensus from a focus group was that a hybrid approach that combines the strengths of the decentralized and regional approaches should be further pursued. The total cost of ownership for the preferred alternatives is also developed. 000207948 650__ $$aResearch and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies 000207948 650__ $$aResearch Methods/Statistical Methods 000207948 700__ $$aMetaxatos, Paul 000207948 773__ $$d2006 000207948 8564_ $$99a6a1d3e-fa48-4c44-a98c-d6e441183ab1$$s120326$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/207948/files/2006_1B_DeployStrat_paper.pdf 000207948 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/207948 000207948 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:207948$$pGLOBAL_SET 000207948 912__ $$nSubmitted by Lisa Vang (vang1490@umn.edu) on 2015-08-20T17:17:48Z No. of bitstreams: 1 2006_1B_DeployStrat_paper.pdf: 120326 bytes, checksum: 4060b7b146d4fac35ff5b422a6f10580 (MD5) 000207948 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2015-08-20T17:17:48Z (GMT).
