Abstract:

This report is designed to help transit agencies that have decided to pursue partnerships with one or more transportation network companies (TNCs). The report provides information on where, when, and how partnerships between transit agencies and TNCs should be considered and pursued. As new mobility service providers emerge, many public transit agencies have partnered, or are in the process of partnering, with such providers. Among these providers are TNCs. While partnerships between transit agencies and private mobility providers are not new, partnerships with TNCs create unique opportunities and challenges as both parties work toward mutually beneficial program models. The report provides 20 in-depth case studies of partnerships between transit agencies and TNCs. Its Partnership Playbook synthesizes lessons learned from these case studies and provides step-by-step practical guidance for transit practitioners on how they should be considered and pursued. The report provides an up-to-date guide on partnerships between transit agencies and TNCs in all stages of development and realization. It covers partnerships developed with several target markets in mind, including: first/last-mile connections to transit; customers of ADA paratransit and demand-response services; people traveling in lower density environments; people with late night travel needs; and people with occasional trip needs (e.g. guaranteed ride home).
