The report contains results of the evaluation of the Lift. The purpose of the UMTA Service and Methods Demonstration was to test a transit operator's ability to provide demand responsive transportation to handicapped and elderly persons and coordinate this service with contracting social service agencies. Project operation and development, costs, impacts, workability, and cost-effectiveness are discussed in this report. The demonstration proved that a transit operator can coordinate with social service agencies to serve their clients and extend coverage to other transportation handicapped persons who did not previously have access to public transportation. In addition, the project had a substantial impact on the travel behavior of regular users and achieved a high penetration of the wheelchair market.
