SPECIFICATION OF RAPID TRANSIT ACCESS MODE REQUIREMENTS

Descriptive aggregate measures of access transportation to rapid transit stations are investigated to provide guiding principles for rapid transit access planning. Problems associated with the development of a data base that provides sufficient sensitivity for analyzing the problem are identified. Data from the BART and Lindenwold systems are selected with certain qualifications, and used to show the influence of location, parking availability, and station accessibility on rapid transit access service. Concepts for economic cost models are used to define generalized impedance curves for the different access modes.
