This report is one of five paratransit agency case studies. The purpose was to develop basic instructional materials to support university classroom and professional short course training in local paratransit planning. Each case study documents a leading paratransit organization experienced in the planning, implementation, and operation of paratransit services. The case study documents the Seattle/King County Computer Pool program which evolved from a 1973 energy crisis carpool program into a multi-faceted paratransit, paratransit incentives development and planning program focused upon reducing peak hour traffic congestion. The program has been involved in twenty-two recognizable activities, including operating a computer ride-match system and buspool program; development of paratransit incentives, including preferential parking, lane access and tolls; planning and employer consulting, including vanpooling and parking programs, transit strike contingency planning, state legislative lobbying for ridesharing legislation, special commuter and transportation studies, and Federal research into vehicle occupancy monitoring; flexible work hour promotion; and media promotion and educational program development.
