The report provides guidelines for planning paratransit for off-peak and/or non-work travel. The report is designed as a comprehensive pre-implementation planning manual which will aid the planner in: (1) identifying the transportation needs of the local elderly and handicapped population; (2) estimating demand and system costs and benefits; (3) identifying sources of funding; and (4) identifying and evaluating various service combination options. Some of the areas covered are: federal legislation; sources for funding; issues that will affect transportation planning; travel behavior including current demand and estimates of latent demand; major transportation alternatives; the coordination of existing transportation services provided by social service agencies; the accessibility of existing bus or rail systems; separate fixed route bus system; demand responsive transit; ride-sharing; and solutions to problems presented. The report contains a Bibliography and Appendices A and B: 'Transportation Survey of the Mobility Limited' and 'Service Coordination Survey', respectively.
