| Benefits of Transit in North Carolina | North Carolina’s transit systems serve over 77.8 million passenger trips annually, benefiting both the state’s transit customers and the overall economy. In the absence of transit, customers would be required to travel using other (often more-costly) modes, or forego their intended trip altogether. This study estimates the benefits transit provides to its customers and to the state’s economy. | |
| Applying Structured Scheduling to Increase Performance in Rural Demand-Response Transportation | This research explains how to establish structured rural demand-response transportation service and enumerates its benefits through a case study consisting of actual service data. The case study shows a reduction in service miles by 27 percent due to implementation of structured scheduling. |
