This report presents the results of the second year of a three year project to study the effect of the size of the provider on the efficiency and quality of paratransit in general and on special services in particular. The purpose of this study is to determine if coordination increases efficiency by examining the differences between coordinated transportation agencies and special service agencies in terms of their internal relations, relations to agencies provided with transportation, and relations to funding agencies, namely--governments. Case studies were done of 12 coordinated agencies that provide special transportation.
