Researchers at the Transportation Sustainability Research Center (TSRC) at UC Berkeley conducted an evaluation of the RideKC: Bridj pilot program operating in Kansas City, MO. RideKC: Bridj is a public‐private partnership with the goal to enhance existing public transit options in Kansas City through a flexible microtransit service offered by Bridj. TSRC UC Berkeley’s goal in this evaluation is to assess the travel behavior impacts of the service, as well as to provide operational and institutional analysis.
The evaluation consists of multiple pieces of analysis. The following slides outline findings from two online surveys, a community survey, activity data analysis, and expert interviews. Survey deployment and expert interviews took place between July and September 2016, and activity data analyses took into consideration all user and vehicle activity during the six‐month period of 3/7/16 to 9/6/16. Please reference the study’s corresponding appendix document for deeper description of expert interview findings outlined in this slide deck.
