This report presents a sketch planning model and regional models designed to help metropolitan planning organizations and transit operators better estimate the probable future demand for Americans with Disability Act (ADA) complementary paratransit service, as well as predict travel by ADA paratransit-eligible individuals on all public transportation modes. Both models permit more detailed forecasts and deeper understanding of the travel behavior of ADA paratransit-eligible people. All model parameters and coefficients are contained in the report and a fully implemented version is available on a CD-ROM that is included with the print version of the report. The CD-ROM is also available for download from TRB’s website as an ISO image at http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/tcrp/tcrp_rpt_158.iso. (Author/publisher)
