Morrisville Public Transportation Study

Methods & Models of Service Delivery

SWOT Issues Addressed As a mix of both fixed-route and demand-response service, Smart shuttles blend many of the benefits of both service modes. Node-based service is more consistent and attractive for commuter trips, which, like fixed-route service, is well suited to attracting new residents and jobs in Morrisville, including encouraging new development along the path of the route. Additionally, the service can utilize any path between pickups. This flexibility allows the service to connect to new developments, job centers, and growing residential developments that may not be located near traditional fixed-route paths. This service also can provide its own complementary paratransit service, as service is flexible and provides location- based pickups and dropoffs. Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats
