Various models for flexible services, as these hybrids of fixed-route and paratransit have sometimes been called, have been explored in other research studies, most notably in TCRP Synthesis 53: Operational Experiences with Flexible Transit Services. The current synthesis on integrated services complements that study by focusing on those services that either were designed with the disability community in mind or that have benefited riders with disabilities and served to reduce demand on ADA paratransit services.

• Fixed-route systems that deviate for people with disabilities have found this approach to be a valuable means of either avoiding the cost of complementary ADA paratransit service, or serving communities that otherwise would not receive service. • Integrated services that connect to fixed-route locations, whether through community bus, route deviation, or paratransit feeder service, can be effectively implemented in locales with a variety of land use densities, from densely urban environments to rural areas.
