The purpose of this paratransit agency case study was to develop basic instructional materials to support university classroom and professional short course training in local paratransit planning. This curriculum material consists of 6 separate documents--a guide and 5 paratransit case studies--titled: Paratransit Resource Guide; The Seattle/King County Commuter Pool Program--Paratransit and Rush Hour Congestion; Colonial Taxi Company of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania--Private Enterprise in Paratransit; The Paratransit Services of the Choanoke Area (North Carolina) Development Association--Rural Transit in Coordinated Human Services Transportation; The Dial-A-Bat Paratransit Service of Brockton, Massachusetts, Area Transit--Public Transit in Coordinated Human Services Transportation; and Knoxville, Tennessee, Commuter pool--Matching Markets to Modes with Paratransit Brokering. The report numbers (UMTA-OK-11-0001-79-1 through UMTA-OK-11-0001-79-6) identify with the sequential order of the titles cited above. Knoxville Commuter Pool was a significant national experiment in community-wide transportation brokerage, particularly in its broad scale implementation of an owner/operator van pool program (47 van pools at the end of 1978), its aggressive promotion of all forms of ridesharing among employers and employees in the area, and in the resolution of barriers (notably state regulations and insurance) to ridesharing brokerage.
