TRB’s Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Web-Only Document 49: Methods for Forecasting Demand and Quantifying Need for Rural Passenger Transportation is designed as a workbook to help planners answer questions regarding the magnitude of the need for public transit services within a geographic area, as well as the annual ridership--i.e. “demand”--that a transit service might be expected to carry.

An Excel spreadsheet for applying the procedures described in TCRP Web-Only Document 49 is available online. Appendix B of the report provides step‐by‐step instructions for use of the spreadsheet.
