The Santa Barbara, California Paratransit Demonstration Project tested the feasibility of increasing transit ridership by integrating bicycles with fixed-route bus services of the Santa Barbara Metropolitan Transit District (SBMTD). This integration was designed as an innovative demonstration project to increase local ridership. This report evaluates the project and is concerned with the impacts of integrating bicycles and transit on: (1) the design, implementation and marketing aspects; (2) the changes in the level of services; (3) the changes in travel and user behavior; and (4) the economics and efficiency of the services. This evaluation also examines other recent applications of bicycle and transit integration in the United States and identifies some potential applications for future integration.
