The 1970's and 1980's witnessed both substantial conceptual and
practical interest in paratransit across Europe and North America,
as well as widespread implementation of paratransit services and
strategies. Subsequently, the trajectory of paratransit (also often
referred to as flexible transport systems) has waned, to the point
where it is frequently relegated to a very narrow niche (often
related to special needs) in the spectrum of collective transport
services. More recently, technological advances have made feasible
new and / or improved approaches for organizing and delivering
local passenger transportation. With practice, policy and research
in paratransit now being impacted by these developments, a new set
of possibilities is emerging. Some practitioners have forged ahead
over the past decade and implemented services and organizational
models that show the way forward for what is possible, sometimes
without the benefit of the most advanced available technologies.
This book draws on a selection of papers presented at the
International Paratransit Conference in Monterey in October 2014 to
capture these exciting developments.
