Ridesharing is the process of improving transportation efficiency by increasing vehicle occupancy. Brokerage is the process by which ridesharing is promoted, coordinated and implemented. Brokerage is built on the concept of matching specific individual needs with a broad array of transportation services. The report defines the brokerage concept, describes benefits, assesses market potential, describes mechanisms for determining needs, outlines methodology for comparing costs of alternative types of service, identifies institutional barriers to program implementation and develops strategies for increasing ridesharing.
