Objective

The objective of this cooperative agreement is to complete the demonstration phase of the MobilityAbility to freely move, where one wants and when one wants; mobility is higher when the average times, variations in travel times, and travel costs are low. PerformanceThe level of service or access being provided for people in the community. MetricsA number of instances or calculation of numbers that is used to monitor performance of service in a given moment or over a defined period of time. More (MPM) project. The scope of this project includes developing a yearlong plan to evaluate, verify, and validate the metricsA number of instances or calculation of numbers that is used to monitor performance of service in a given moment or over a defined period of time. More. The phases of the plan will include pilot implementation, data collection, assessment, evaluation, and documentation.

Project activities include:

• Target-setting research
• Development of measures of effectiveness (MOEs)
• Development of data and testing platforms
• Partnership-based field testing
• And evaluation, validation, and verification of metricsA number of instances or calculation of numbers that is used to monitor performance of service in a given moment or over a defined period of time. More

This work will inform the final implementation phase of the supplemental MPM development and testing process.

Project Information

This project is funded through the Federal Transit Administration’s Public TransportationThe act of moving goods or people. Innovation Program (49 U.S.C. § 5312) and seeks to improve how mobilityAbility to freely move, where one wants and when one wants; mobility is higher when the average times, variations in travel times, and travel costs are low. systems are measured and evaluated through research and demonstration. The project will advance the development of the complete trip MPMs and complete the next phase of partnership-based field testing to evaluate, verify, and validate a set of prioritized metricsA number of instances or calculation of numbers that is used to monitor performance of service in a given moment or over a defined period of time. More. A project analysis and summarization of project results will occur in 2026.
