A STUDY OF TRANSIT FRINGE PARKING USAGE

TRANSIT FRINGE PARKING /OR PARK-AND-RIDE/ FACILITIES ARE VALUABLE TO THE CITY BECAUSE USE OF THEM REMOVES PEAK-HOUR TRAFFIC FROM THE STREETS AND DECREASES DOWNTOWN PARKING DEMAND. NOT ALL ATTEMPTS AT THE PROMOTION OF FRINGE PARKING HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL, HOWEVER. THIS STUDY, WHICH FOCUSES MAINLY ON THE FEASIBILITY OF EXTENDED USE OF FRINGE PARKING FACILITIES IN THE WASHINGTON, D. C. AREA, PRESENTS DATA AND DRAWS CONCLUSIONS ON FACTORS WHICH INFLUENCE THE SUCCESS OR FAILURE OF FRINGE PARKING IN CITIES GENERALLY. /AUTHOR/
