BUS/CAR POOL SYSTEMS EVALUATION

The I-95/N.W. 7th Avenue Bus/Car Pool Systems Demonstration Project in Miami, Florida is presently being evaluated with respect to the following stated objectives: 1) To offer a viable alternative to the single occupant automobile in the I-95 corridor; 2) To convince a maximal share of the choice rider market that public transit and car pools can be convenient and attractive modes of transport; and 3) To minimize the total number of passenger-hours as opposed to vehicle-hours expended in the corridor; 4) To demonstrate the operational effectiveness and future application of various strategies for providing preferential treatment to express buses. The paper discusses the evaluation of the Project and the methodologies employed. /GMRL/
