The Shared-Use Mobility Center (SUMC) with support from AARP Public Policy Institute developed Connecting Community Transportation: Lessons Learned from Transactional Data Specification Demonstration Projects, a research report on the Transactional Data Specification (TDS) and its role in facilitating demand-responsive transportation in projects around the country.
The report discusses the history of the TDS, its benefits, and use cases, and summarizes TDS demonstration projects in Colorado, Minnesota, Ohio, California, Oregon, and Washington. Additionally, the paper discusses key takeaways from implementation projects and outlines additional project opportunities, including healthcare coordination, mobility management, and non-emergency medical transportation.

In addition to the research report, SUMC with support from AARP Public Policy Institute, also developed an accompanying roadmap for TDS implementation. This roadmap offers key considerations and steps for planning, designing, and implementing the Transactional Data Specification. The roadmap is not exhaustive; rather, it is designed to guide interested agencies in adopting the Transactional Data Specification.
