Attitudinal Responses and Preferences to Parking Measures

This paper reports the results of a study of attitudinal responses of car drivers to the planned parking measures at the campus of the Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands. In an on-street questionnaire, drivers were asked to respond on a restriction of access of the campus area for cars of non-university car drivers with a barrier, the means of identification when entering the campus area, and the way of payment. The responses of more than 700 car drivers are used in the analyses. The responses are related to personal characteristics by means of multinomial logit models. It appears that in case of a restricted access without payment, most of the car drivers will continue to drive to the university by car. Almost half of the car drivers indicate that they will change their travel behavior in the case they have to pay for entering the campus area. Most favorite option is changing transport mode, followed by park the car outside the campus area. There is no clear preference for one specific type of identification. The most favorite ways of payment are paying with own bank/credit card and with a special university card.
