NYCT Paratransit Ridership Monthly Totals from 2016 to 2023

MTA NYCT Paratransit Ridership data provides monthly totals for completed trips and total ridership, including personal care attendants and guests, from October 2016 through 2023. The dataset is published by data.ny.gov and covers historical ridership for the Access-A-Ride service. It includes columns such as Hour of Promise Time, Day, Ridership, Pickup Borough, Trips, and Provider Type.

Use Cases

• Analyze seasonal ridership trends using the 'Day' and 'Ridership' columns.
• Compare service volume across different 'Pickup Borough' locations.
• Evaluate on-time performance metrics by examining 'Hour of Promise Time' against actual trip data.
• Assess the impact of different 'Provider Type' on total 'Trips' completed.

Strengths

• Covers over 7 years of historical data from October 2016 to 2023.
• Includes both total trips and total ridership counts, distinguishing clients from attendants and guests.

Limitations
