This study is comprised of 6 reports that encompass all of the major facets of a demand-responsive system. It is designed to assist the Mid-America Regional Council and local government agencies in the detailed service planning of Dial-A-Ride services in the Kansas City Metropolitan Region. A small pilot system was applied in Independence, Missouri, and a larger pilot system was applied in Johnson County, Kansas. Report No. 4 is concerned with the maintenance and specifications of Dial-A-Ride vehicles. Considerations in vehicle acquisition is discussed, such as procurement, leasing, specification guidelines, and provisions for wheelchairs. Transit fare collection equipment and related functions are discussed, and alternatives to cash fares are presented, such as tickets or prepayment. It was found that Dial-A-Ride service to the general public should be seriously considered for expansion of public transportation in major portions of the KCMR, and especially in medium and lower density suburban areas.
