Information about the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission operational test is presented. The test focuses on service planning for the local flex-route transit services and the flag-stop commuter-rail feeder services, as well as their start-ups. Although the intelligent transportation system (ITS) operational test involves the application of automated vehicle location and real-time order-taking, scheduling, and dispatching of software, the planning and start-up operations of the non-ITS-enhanced phase of the flex-route and feeder services are addressed.
