FTA compendium completed on public transit under a range of flexibility

The Federal Transit Administration commissioned the BUILT lab to work on a white paper reviewing and exploring the range of public transit operations from fixed route to on-demand microtransit. The completed 156-pg report is now available to access. It includes almost 300 references and links to data (B63 bus route in Brooklyn) and code for a simulation tool to evaluate different transit operations (fixed route, flex-route, door-to-door microtransit). This should be useful to transit agencies (e.g. New York City Transit) looking for an overview of state-of-the-art methods in flexible solutions.
