TRIP GENERATION AT NEIGHBORHOOD SHOPPING CENTERS WITH FREQUENT BUS SERVICE

A study is reported which determined if there is a relationship between frequent bus service and the vehicle trip generation rate at neighborhood shopping centers. It examined if shopping centers with bus service have lower vehicle trip generation rates than those without bus services. Four sites were examined and compared with the 12 that were studied in a 1982 report. The study found that frequent bus service does not affect the volume of auto trips by neighborhood shopping centers. It was found that sites with bus services had higher vehicle trip generation rates than those without bus access. The study showed that shopping centers with bus service do not substantiate lower vehicle trip generation rates.
