INVENTORY OF COMMUTER PARKING AT L.I.R.R. STATIONS: NASSAU AND SUFFOLK COUNTIES

THE REPORT IS PRIMARILY A STATISTICAL INVENTORY AND DATA- SHEET OF COMMUTER PARKING FACILITIES AT LONG ISLAND RAILROAD (L.I.R.R.) STATIONS IN NASSAU AND SUFFOLK COUNTRIES, NEW YORK. THE PURPOSE OF THE MATERIAL WAS TO PROVIDE DATA FOR ANALYSIS IN THREE AREAS: (1) TO DETERMINE THE IMPACT OF PARKING FACILITIES ON L.I.R.R. USAGE; (2) TO CONSIDER THE POSSIBLE DIVERSION OF COMMUTER TRAFFIC; AND (3) TO HELP EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITY OF INSTITUTING PARK-AND-RIDE DEMONSTRATIONS IN THE AREA. STATISTICAL INFORMATION WAS OBTAINED THROUGH QUESTIONNAIRES CIRCULATED AMONG MANAGERS OF EACH STATION OF THE SELECTED LONG ISLAND RAILROAD ROUTES. DATA IS BROKEN DOWN BY STATIONS IN EACH TOWN AND FOR EACH BRANCH OF THE RAILROAD'S OVERALL NETWORK IN THE TWO COUNTIES. THE LATTER PROVIDES SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR EACH STATION IN THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES: (1) TOTAL PARKING SPACES; (2) TOTAL SPACES BROKEN DOWN BY LOT OR CURB PARKING; (3) COST; (4) RESIDENCY RESTRICTIONS, IF ANY, ON PARKING PRIVILEGES; (5) PARKING MANAGEMENT (IE. WHETHER THE FACILITIES ARE CONTROLLED BY A CITY, A PRIVATE OPERATOR, OR THE RAILROAD); AND (6) PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL CAPACITY NORMALLY OCCUPIED. /UMTA/
