As transit agencies respond to changing travel patterns, evolving rider expectations, and the need for more flexible mobility options, microtransit continues to gain attention across Florida and beyond.
Our newest CUTR research report, "Microtransit in Florida: Strategic Considerations and Research Needs," explores how on-demand transit services can improve mobility, expand access, and address challenges associated with traditional fixed-route service. The report provides a decision-oriented overview of planning, implementation, operations, performance measurement, and emerging research priorities for Florida transit stakeholders.
Authored by Jennifer Flynn, Martin Catala, and Victoria Perk, this report draws on a review of current literature, Florida case examples, and input from transit professionals across the state.
