McManus S PARTICIPANTS AND SPONSORING COMMITTEE 170 INTRODUCTION Daniel Roos, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and chairman of the Committee on Urban Transport Service Innovations (Para transit) During the past 4 years, the demand-responsive transportation (DRT) concept has evolved from an experimental to a production stage. C. Kenneth Orski, associate ad- ministrator of the Urban Mass Transportation Administration, stated in his keynote address at the conference, "The utility of demand-responsive transportation requires no further proof. More than 50 DRT systems in some 22 states testify to the popularity of the concept." To reflect this acceptance, UMTA has recently made its first capital grants for DRT systems. In light of these developments, this conference did not focus on concepts and sys- tems that already had been tested. Rather, it was oriented toward a number of signifi- cant issues that are still unresolved and will impact the future of demand-responsive transportation. These issues include the following. Integrated service. Most of the implemented demand-responsive systems are in small- and medium-scale cities that have few or no fixed-route bus systems. The role of demand-responsive service in larger metropolitan areas that have significant fixed-route service is still unresolved. In particular, the issue of how demand- responsive and fixed-route services are integrated is of utmost importance. A num- ber of difficult areawide approaches are currently being implemented in Ann Arbor, Rochester, Orange County, Santa Clara County, Regina, and Toronto. Service for the elderly and handicapped. The door-to-door service aspect of demand-responsive transportation provides unique opportunities to offer service for the elderly and handicapped. However, should that service be combined with more general demand-responsive service or should it be provided as a special service? What special design features must be included in vehicles to serve these groups? Role of automation. All of the demand-responsive systems implemented to date have used manual dispatching techniques. The new areawide systems will use a number of different automated dispatching approaches. Considerable debate exists as to what the role of computers should be and whether dispatching should be computer aided or

NEW JERSEY TRANSIT RAIL OPERATIONS, INC. and John Doe and Richard Roe (said name being fictitious), Defendant-Respondent. Decided: December 24, 1998 Before Judges PRESSLER, KLEINER and STEINBERG. George W. Conk, South Orange, for plaintiff-appellant (Tulipan & Conk attorneys; Mr. Conk, on the brief). Elizabeth A. Kenny, Deputy Attorney General, for defendant-respondent (Peter Verniero, Attorney General, attorney; Mary C. Jacobson, Assistant Attorney General, of counsel; Ms. Kenny, on the brief). The opinion of the court was delivered by Plaintiff Mary Jane Roe (a fictitious name) by her mother and natural guardian M.J. appeals from the grant of summary judgment in favor of defendant New Jersey Transit Rail Operations, Inc. (NJ Transit) and from the subsequent denial of her motion for reconsideration. We agree with plaintiff that there were genuine factual issues that precluded the grant of summary judgment and that Kuzmicz v. Ivy Hill Apartments, Inc., 147 N.J. 510, 688 A.2d 1018 (1997) which was relied upon by the motion judge, is distinguishable on its facts from those here alleged. Accordingly, we reverse. Since this is an appeal from the grant of summary judgment, we review the evidence on the motion in the light most favorable to plaintiff, the non-moving party. Brill v. Guardian Life Ins.
