Register for TCRP Webinar on Paratransit Fleet Configurations

The Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) is hosting a free webinar on Fleet Configurations for Paratransit Services Oct. 24, 2:00 p.m. Eastern.

Public transportation agencies have responded to growing paratransit demand by exploring ways to deliver better service, with some systems moving away from standard one-vehicle-type fleets in favor of a mixed fleet.

This webinar will focus on the findings of TCRP Synthesis 174: Paratransit Fleet Configurations, which evaluates the different ways that transit agencies have built out their dedicated paratransit fleets.

Panelists will discuss the benefits and challenges of reconfiguration.
