FOREWORD On March 16, 1972, the President sent a special message to Congress wherein he called "for a strong new effort to marshal! science and technology in the work of strengthening our economy and improving the quality of our life." In this message he stated that in the final analysis," the progress we seek requires a new partnership in science and technology-­ one which brings together the Federal Government, private enterprise, State and local governments, and our universities and research centers in a coordinated, cooperative effort to serve the national interest." As part of its ongoing commitment to this principle of technology-sharing, the U.S. Department of Transportation has initiated a series of publications based on research and development efforts sponsored by the Department. The series comprises technical reports, state-of-the-art documents, newsletters and bulletins, manuals and handbooks, bibliographies, and other special publications. All share a primary objective: to contri­ bute to a better base of knowledge and understanding throughout the transportation community, and, thereby, to an improvement in the basis for decision-making within the community. This title in the series presents an overview of demand responsive transportation, an innovative approach that may help fill the need for flexibility in public transportation.
