For the transit planner considering alternative future transit designs, there has been little in the way of analytical tools available to assess the impact of demand-responsive transportation (DRT) systems. The intent of the report is to provide the Urban Transportation Planning System (UTPS) user with a methodology for incorporating DRT feeder systems in transit network analysis. The focus is on the use of DRT systems to provide feeder services to fixed transit routes in low density areas. A methodology for considering such services within the framework of UTPS modeling is presented. A set of previously developed DRT supply models, representing many-to-many service, many-to-one cycled service, and many-to-one subscription service have been refined for the purposes of this report. These services are discussed and general guidelines for designing feeder services offered.
