Abstract
Using GIS to Analyze Potential Paratransit Fare and Zone ChangesTrack: Transportation and Logistics
Author(s): Scott R. Miller, Teri Collins
This paper identifies how the Regional Public Transportation Authority, in Phoenix, Arizona, employed GIS to analyze the effects of consolidating two multicity public paratransit systems. Prior to consolidation, the two systems had inconsistent zone areas, hours of operation, and fare requirements. GIS was used in this project to identify the "winners" and "losers" of potential zone and fare changes resulting from the consolidation. The analysis was instrumental in guiding the regional project team in developing reasonable alternatives. This paper will illustrate how GIS tools can be used to solve specialized public transportation problems.
