Enhance the dial-a-ride concept utilizing the GPS and mapping capabilities of mobile devices to enable a traveler to input a desired destination and time of departure tagged with their current location. A central system dynamically dispatches or modifies the route of an in-service paratransit vehicle by matching compatible trips together. In the event a paratransit vehicle is not available, the traveler is given information on a fixed route trip or connected to private (taxi) service.
