ALTERNATIVE ACCESS MODES DATABASE PROJECT

In this paper, methodology, results, and conclusions of the Alternative Access Modes (Al-A-Mode) database project and its method of application in the city of Bellevue, Washington are described. The purpose of the Al-A-Mode project was to begin the development of the database needed to establish existing levels of ridesharing in the suburban King County area. The Al-A-Mode project identified specific data needs, developed a data collection methodology, and collected and compiled vehicle occupancy data from 47 suburban office buildings and office campuses. This information is now available for individual jurisdictions to use in taking the first steps in the process of setting rideshare standards and in measuring the success of transportation management plans at new developments. The city of Bellevue is using the Al-A-Mode results in the development of a transportation management program soon to be presented to the Bellevue city council.
