RIDERLINK DEMONSTRATION PROJECT EVALUATION REPORT. FINAL REPORT

The purpose of the Riderlink Project was to demonstrate the effectiveness of providing electronic access to multi-modal transportation information including bus schedules and route maps, vanpool and carpool information, ridematch applications, biking tips, ferry schedules, real-time freeway congestion and road construction updates. The project was a joint effort by King County Metro and the Overlake Transportation Management Association. Riderlink was developed as a World Wide Web site on the Internet. Electronic touch-screen kiosks with access to Riderlink were set up at three employer sites and all Overlake TMA Employee Transportation Coordinators had a connection to Riderlink throughout the demonstration period. Riderlink proved to be an effective way to present easy-to-use, and easy-to-update, transportation information on desktop machines in homes and offices. Delivering Riderlink through touch-screen kiosks at employment sites was not as successful.
