76 improving AdA paratransit demand estimation: Regional Modeling ➢ The person-day file: The first group of tables just shows the distribution of the expanded regional sample along a number of household and person characteristics. The second table shows the mean number of predicted tours per day, ADA paratransit trips per day, and ADA paratransit miles per day, along those same person and household dimensions. Note that the walk accessibility measure for the residence zone is also written to the output file, and this variable can be used to create an area type variable. ➢ The tour file: The tables created from this file show the tour purpose split, tour mode split, tour complexity (number of trips) along a number of household and person dimensions. ➢ The trip file: The tables from this file tabulate the trip purpose and mode against the tour purpose and mode, respectively. These tables show the hierarchy and dependency between the tour main purpose and mode and the trip purpose and mode. Note that the tables for trip origin purpose and trip destination purpose are identical, because during a tour each stop is a trip origin and a trip destination exactly once. The trip distance and auto travel time are also written to the trip file, and can be used in analysis as well. Example SPSS syntax to analyze the output results files and resulting tables 1.

TRB’s Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Report 158: Improving ADA Paratransit Demand Estimation: Regional Modeling 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. Links to the ISO image and instructions for burning a CD-ROM from an ISO image are provided below.
