Shaping the New Future of Paratransit: An International Conference on Demand Responsive Transit
The Paratransit Committee of the Transportation Research Board is the organizing sponsor of an international conference on paratransit to be held October 29-31, 2014 in Monterey, CA. This will be the first major paratransit conference since 1997. This conference will bring together leading researchers and practitioners to shape paratransit's future and its potential within the family of transportation services. The conference will focus on the future of both open and integrated paratransit solutions (general public DRT, flexible transit) and mobility management / coordinated transportation service approaches, grounded in an understanding of the current state of the art of paratransit around the world, in the context of pressures on funding sources to provide transport services that are financially sustainable, equitable and cost-effective.
The deadline for abstract submission is March 31, 2014.
