7 Introduction 1.1 About This Research Project This project focuses on a key building block for enabling demand-responsive transportation services in the United States to participate more fully and easily in the era of new mobility. The primary product of this effort is a comprehensive data specification for ordering and scheduling trips and vehicles in demand-responsive transportation services, the transactions that are at the heart of providing these types of services.

10 Development of Transactional Data Specifications for Demand-Responsive Transportation As Figure 1-2 illustrates, transactional data specifications are poised to play a key role in a public transportation future in which demand-responsive services are an important element of local mobility. In particular, they make it simple for DRT services to be included in MaaS systems, not merely as an available service but also to book rides on the service and pay for those trips.

Introduction 11 as the preferred solution to achieving software/data interoperability and facilitating service coordination across demand-responsive transportation systems. Such data specifications are essential to a future in which these services can readily involve multiple service sponsors, funding sources, and transportation providers interoperating via -- or across -- technology platforms.

Introduction 15 1.8 Strategies for Successful Adoption of Data Specifications Existing Systems While establishing a specification-based digital infrastructure for demand-responsive transportation in the United States will be challenging, successful models exist. As explained in Chapter 3, several European countries have adopted transactional data specifications developed initially in Sweden (SUTI standards)
