MODE CHOICE AND MODE CAPTIVITY IN INTERLOCAL COMMUTING: TWO DUTCH STUDIES ON MODAL SPLIT IN CONGESTED TRANSPORTATION CORRIDORS

In this paper results of two comprehensive Dutch studies of modal split in interlocal commuting are compared. The first study, carried out in 1979, had the objective of investigating means of furthering park-and-ride. The second study, carried out in 1981/1982, is a before-and after-study into the effects of the removal of a major congestion point for car traffic. An important aspect of both studies is a segmentation of commuters into "choice travellers" and captives. In this paper descriptive results from both studies and a mode-choice model are presented.
