Measuring the Success of Modal Shift:The Impact on Last Mile Connectivity

Throughout the United States, there are many instances where transit stops are provided, but there is little to no pedestrian access. To get from the transit stop to their final destination, or from their destination back to the transit stop, people often have short trips. Last mile connectivity provides people with a modal choice beyond the personal car by offering safe, comfortable, and convenient options for accessing fixed-route transit systems. Encouraging and promoting emerging technologies that provide users with safe, convenient last-mile connections is key to giving users a true modal choice. This article presents a case study from North Carolina, in which transportation demand management (TDM) programs are being used to measure success in modal shift.
