Abstract
This study analyzes Trip Connect, an on-demand transit service offered in Johnson County, Iowa. The modeling suggests that while it would have been possible to complete 16.6% of weekday Trip Connect requests using the existing fixed-route transit network, the travel times would have been four times longer, on average. At the same time, there are almost no public transit alternatives to Trip Connect on Sundays and late at night, when most of the fixed-route service is not operational. The findings shed light on the value of on-demand transit operations in small urban regions.
