The report presents an evaluation of the Boston Shared-Ride Taxi Demonstration. The City of Boston's Traffic and Parking Department, designed a shared-ride service for Boston's Allston-Brighton neighborhood. During the demonstration period, Share and Save was available for trips within Allston-Brighton or from Allston-Brighton to adjoining towns and other parts of Boston. The demonstration's major accomplishment was the actual development and implementation of a shared-ride service. While the project failed to demonstrate the true potential of the shared-ride taxi concept, it produced a number of valuable lessons concerning the development, implementation, and operation of a shared-ride taxi service. The findings should be considered carefully by other locations planning to introduce such services.
