GOLDEN GATE BROKERED CARPOOL: REPORT ON THREE PROJECTS

In 1981, the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District (GGBHTD) received a National Ridesharing Demonstration Project grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Urban Mass Transportation Administration to support the District's brokered carpool project. The three activities were a leased car project, which included group leases and direct leases for carpools; a back-up transportation service, which was designed to provide ridesharers and transit users with late evening transportation service home for those situations where the person could not use his regular commute mode; and an information dissemination element, which was designed to facilitate the collection and distribution of information about the other project activities as well as other District ridesharing options. This final report covers the evaluation of the three demonstration elements. Evaluation issues for the back-up transportation element included project development and administration, patronage and user satisfaction, and costs and revenues. The evaluations of the group and direct lease projects are restricted to legal and technical issues and project feasibility, since the projects were never fully implemented. The information requests received and the level of satisfaction expressed by those who had requested the information.
