Paratransit (Demand Response Transport) Scheduling System

Trapeze PASS is a scheduling and dispatching application developed to support the transportation management efforts of demand response transit services while following guidelines from the Americans with Disabilities Act. PASS can be used for client registration, trip booking, real-time scheduling, and dispatching. PASS integrates GIS mapping, enabling users to precisely geocode client addresses and destinations, calculate trip lengths and distances for accurate scheduling, and zoom in to view detailed information about the service area. The PASS system can be extended to include other modules for demand response management, such as coordinated transportation, eligibility certification, customer communication management, real-time vehicle location and mobile data communication, [18] and Web and IVR interfaces for automated customer access. PASS can also be fully integrated with Trapeze planning and scheduling software.
