The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (1990) focuses on the comparability of paratransit to fixed-route systems. However, in a nation where just 5 percent of the population uses public transit, comparing paratransit only to public transportation does not fully highlight the unevenness of mobilities between persons with disabilities (PWDs) and persons without disabilities. In this thesis, I explore how the travel time efficiency of paratransit compares to a counterfactual trip taken in a car. I analyze Colorado's Regional Transportation District's Access-a-Ride data from January 2019 to June 2021. First, I map the hot spots and find that the demand is largely located in the more suburban cities where housing is relatively affordable but access via urban infrastructure is relatively low. Second, I perform regression analyses comparing the trip time by paratransit to trip time by car for the same origins and destination, controlling for various trip characteristics. All else equal, female riders have lower paratransit travel times compared to their male counterparts. If the same trip was made by car, the difference between the two groups would have been much less. PWDs made more efficient trips during the pandemic. Compared to the 11 PM to 6 AM off-peak time range, paratransit riders have the most inefficient trips from 7 AM to 8 AM and from 3 PM to 5 PM with 22 and 12.5 minutes longer trip times, respectively. If they were traveling by car, this trip time inefficiency would have been significantly less at 3 minutes for both time ranges. Ticket payers have more efficient trips compared to cash payers, while riders who do not pay out of pocket have the most efficient trips. Local paratransit riders would have benefited from a car ride much more than regional travelers who in fact have less efficient trips on the counterfactual automobile mode. Older paratransit riders have less time-efficient trips on paratransit and a counterfactual car trip would have been more time-efficient. As daily precipitation increases, time efficiencies decrease for both travel modes, with the counterfactual car trip being marginally more efficient. An increase in the average daily temperature decreases the time spent on paratransit, but it does not affect car travel time efficiency. This analysis suggests that agencies should focus on improving paratransit services through adopting tools that eliminate pre-travel inefficiencies including extended wait times and leverage the spatial and temporal patterns to optimize operational efficiency.
