Transit agencies, including the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), must provide demand responsive service to customers with disabilities in order to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The growing demand and costs of The Ride, the MBTA’s ADA paratransit service, have led the MBTA to initiate a pilot program in March 2017 to allow eligible customers to use ride sharing services (Uber, Lyft, or Curb) for subsidized trips. The research need is to understand the effect of this program on ADA paratransit operations and demand.
