TRAVEL DEMAND, MODE CHOICE, AND SYSTEM ANALYSIS

The seven papers examine various aspects of travel demand, modal choice and system analysis. The first examines the effects of a fare reduction in Atlanta. The second paper investigates the potential for gradually restructuring urban areas to reduce the built-in requirements for transportation. The third studies the socioeconomic characteristics of commuters and the transport service characteristics they value in their choice of mode for work trips. Two papers consider the problems of airport access. A methodology called Special Area Analysis is described in the sixth paper. The final paper describes the problem of integrating system and project planning to include all community and environmental concerns.
