LOCATING AND OPERATING BUS RAPID TRANSIT PARK-AND-RIDE LOTS

The report reviews and synthesizes previous experiences with locating and operating park-ride lots throughout the country in such places as Seattle, Washington, D.C., New Brunswick, Milwaukee, and the Northeast Corridor in general. The data represent the experiences of 7 municipalities and account for approximately 4500 park-ride spaces in 13 park-ride lots serving as change of mode facilities for bus transit. The characteristics of park-ride users are investigated. Data were analyzed to determine the characteristics of trip lengths and trip times as well as the trip purpose, type of employment, trip origin and mode to bus.
