Abstract

This document, the final report for the Implementation of Advanced Technologies in Rural Transit Service for the State of North Dakota project, describes the motivation for, development and operation of, and lessons learned from an Internet-based trip planning system. The system was developed as an addition to an existing human service website, NDinfo.org. The new transportation module consisted of a searchable online database of transportation services available within North Dakota. The transportation module was available to online users from November 29, 2004, until the spring of 2006. In the summer of 2006, project resources were transferred to the Small Urban & Rural Transit Center (SURTC), a program of the Upper Great Plains Transportation Institute, at North Dakota State University. Under contract with the North Dakota Department of Transportation, SURTC redesigned the transportation module which remains operational.
