What is the Federal Interest in Human Services Transportation (HST)?
• Better coordination of Federal programs• Integration of transportation data - real-time and
archived• Building efficiencies in service delivery (esp. through
optimization of routing and scheduling)• All of the above: where services cross regional and
state boundaries

Federal Transit Administration – Bridgewater State University Cooperative Agreement to support data standardization and
interoperability
• Approach to problem– Review historical Federal interest in demand
responsive transportation (DRT) and human services transportation (HST)
– Review current Mobility Services for All Americans (MSAA) projects
– Outreach to emerging public and private partnerships
– Consensus building for data interoperability

Federal Programs Involved• Mobility Services for All Americans (MSAA) – a small competitive R&D
program from the Joint Program Office for Intelligent Transportation Systems (JPO/ITS) that provides one-call/one-click centers for human services transportation and general public transportation
• Veterans Transportation and Community Living Initiative (VTCLI) – a large discretionary capital assistance program from the FTA that provides one-call/one-click centers for Veterans, active duty members of the US military, and their families in cooperation with the Veterans Administration.
• Accessible Transportation Technology Research Initiative (ATTRI) – an inter-agency intermodal R&D program that addresses the needs of five user categories, development of data standards and integration of user needs.
• Coordination Council on Accessibility and Mobility (CCAM) – re-emphasized by the Congress in the recent Federal transportation reauthorization (FAST Act)

Status of Project
• Took off from TCRP Project and created a laboratory test using public domain data definitions for key files
• Used the New England VTCLI projects and VA Regional facilities as regional ITS stakeholders for concept exploration.
• Integrated FTA Regional and State Transit Leadership where there was local interest
• Create prototype Open Data Exchange for HST using Software as a Service (SaaS) and Data Hub Technology

Mobility on Demand (MOD)MultiModal Data Hub Concept Design
• Veterans and Individuals with Disabilities (V&IWD) unmet trip details in open data format
• Offers a medium for vendors to bid for a trip crossing service area boundaries
• Seeks best competitive price for veterans and IWD
• E-mail exchange from system to customer service agent and trip vendor

Findings: Barriers and Bridges to Open Data Exchange and Interoperability
• Barriers:– Patent Assertive Entities– Intellectual Property
Rights – Corporate
Confidentiality Agreements
– Covenants not to compete
• Bridges– Establishing “Prior-Art”
in Federal R&D– Transparency in
consensus building activities
– Focus on benefits to consumer of services

Possible Federal Future Alternatives
• Alternative 1: “First Do No Harm” – keep the status quo• Alternative 2: “Create a standard for digital data exchange of
DRT/HST transactions tied to interoperability”• Alternative 3: Propose voluntary standards for a “consumer
group” where interstate commerce (e.g. Rides to Wellness) is involved, for example,– Veterans– Active Duty Military– Families of Veteran’s and Active Duty Military
