App-based, on-demand services are a nascent mode of public transportation, which can provide point to point transportation, first-last mile access to fixed route transit, or serve in place of paratransit, among other uses. First-last mile service has emerged as a dominant service model in the Federal Transit Administration's MOD Sandbox Program. However this service model also requires strong integration between app-based, on-demand services and the traditional fixed route lines they connect to. Following previous research identifying the role transit governmental institutions can play in creating barriers to service integration, this study examines whether and how governmental institutions known to impact fixed route services have a similar effect on app-based, on-demand modes. This study surveys cities and transit agencies across Texas. Interviews and archival analysis are used to identify fragmentation challenges and causes in app-based, on-demand services. This study finds that many of the jurisdictional challenges identified for fixed route services also apply to emerging app-based, on-demand services. However the need for integration of apps poses a challenge not seen before. Integration needs make app-based, on-demand services of limited suitability for first/last mile connectivity when provided by separate agencies or companies, when formal and informal coordination is poor, and when fixed route services are infrequent.

Empirical studies on MoD or AMoD have primarily been conducted in Anglo-Saxon and Germanic regions, including the United States (Dubey et al., 2018;Nazari et al., 2018;Asgari & Jin, 2020;Patel et al., 2022;Rafiq & McNally, 2021;Weinreich et al., 2020), the Netherlands (Narayan et al., 2020;Narayan et al., 2022;Alonso-Gonzalez et al., 2020;Alonso-Gonzalez, 2021;Geržinič et al., 2022;Idiz et al., 2021), Germany (Dandl et al., 2021Hartleb et al., 2022), Australia (Ho et al., 2018), Canada (Alsaleh & Farooq, 2021, Finland (Haglund et al., 2019), Sweden (Leffler et al., 2021, Switzerland (Sieber et al., 2020), the United Kingdom (Franco et al., 2020), Norway (Aslaksen et al., 2021), and Asian countries such as China and Pakistan (Wang & He, 2021;Wang et al., 2022), Japan (Abe, 2021), Korea (Jang et al., 2021;Kim et al., 2022), Malaysia (Susilawati & Lim, 2021), Singapore (Nahmias-Biran et al., 2021), as well as Italy (Consilvio et al., 2021;Giuffrida et al., 2021), Brazil (Frederico et al., 2021, and Greece (Fafoutellis et al., 2021). A wide spectrum of on-demand transport modes and systems has been investigated, encompassing human-operated and autonomous vehicles such as electric scooters (Hartleb et al., 2022), cars used for ridesharing and ride-hailing (Asgari & Jin, 2020), rail cars (Abe, 2021), minibuses (Archetti et al., 2018, ferries (Aslaksen et al., 2021), or combinations of these in various intermodal transport and transit systems (Franco et al., 2020;Geržinič et al., 2022). ...
