The report describes a pair of demonstrations undertaken by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to improve services to special transportation users, and serve as a planning model for other operators in the state. One demonstration served an urban area (Orleans Parish); one served a rural area (Tangipahoa Parish). Both were designed to try and minimize capital costs and operating expenses by judicious use of coordination. Coordination alternatives considered included brokerage, consolidation, contract service, ad hoc service, central referral service, user-side subsidies, timesharing, ridesharing, and various kinds of joint purchasing arrangements. Considering their local conditions, joint purchasing of fuel appeared particularly effective as a cost cutting technique.
