GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE BUS STATION ACCESS AND SERVICE STUDY

Recent attention has focused on the declining use of the George Washington Bridge Bus Station and the search for possible methods, in particular Transportation Systems Management (TSM) techniques, which might stem the losses or reverse the decline. The objectives of this project are to study and develop recommendations that would improve this facility's attractiveness to users and its service to the community. The study examines access, patron services, communications, user and potential user attitudes, and other areas, in order to determine whether existing patrons can be better served and new ones attracted. Using this information the report goes on to identify existing problem areas, evaluate alternative TSM solutions to these problem areas and make recommendations.
