This research investigated the potential for a statewide ridesharing and vanpool program for Arizona By performing a literature review, surveying other state DOTs and conducting a needs assessment, the research investigated the need for, logistics of, and funding options for a statewide ridesharing and vanpooling program. The product of this research is an implementation plan that includes four recommendations for the organization and deployment of ridesharing and vanpooling services in two target areas along with assessments to identify future priority areas and potential roles for AzDOT in fostering statewide services. The implementation plan has four recommendations for AzDOT: 1. Flagstaff - The team recommends that AzDOT assist with the start-up of a ridesharing initiative in the Flagstaff area. The team recommends that the Chamber of Commerce undertake employer outreach and help coordinate ridesharing services offered by the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and the local transit authority. 2. Kingman/Bullhead City/Lake Havasu City - The team recommends that a more detailed feasibility study be conducted for these three cities in Mohave County. While the need for ridesharing services is s fairly apparent, the means to coordinate and provide these services are not. 3. Identification of Future Priority Areas - The team recommends periodic assessments be made with local chambers of commerce, key local agencies, and AzDOT district offices to determine if conditions warrant the offering of ridesharing services to address congestion and mobility issues in key corridors or areas. 4. Role of AzDOT in Fostering Statewide Services - Several supporting activities are available for AzDOT to undertake to facilitate the growth of carpooling and vanpooling in non-urban areas. First, AzDOT can support a statewide ridematching service similar to that provided by Valley Metro to Tucson and Flagstaff. AzDOT can also assist with new vanpool acquisition. Furthermore, AzDOT can provide technical assistance to areas interested in creating a new ridesharing program with guidance and funding for start-up. AzDOT can also convene ridesharing program managers from around the state for networking, training, and technical assistance.
