The Rochester Community Transit Demonstration followed four years of paratransit experimentation. Both public and private operators provided dial-a-ride and handicapped services, and their performances were compared. The demonstration also included a unique funding strategy that shifted responsibility to the local towns served by dial-a-ride vehicles. The purpose of the evaluation was to determine how well the demonstration achieved these objectives--increasing transit coverage, improving transit service reliability, increasing vehicle productivity, and improving service for transit dependent. The implications of the Rochester experience are summarized for the benefit of localities interested in implementing similar services.
