THE EFFECTIVENESS OF RIDESHARING INCENTIVES. DISCRETE-CHOICE MODELS OF COMMUTING IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Ridesharing incentives are evaluated with simulations based on 1989-1990 data of 2,200 full-time commuters in the South Coast Air Basin of California. A new developed ordered probit model is used, distinguishing three discrete alternatives: always rideshare, sometimes rideshare, and always drive alone. Drive alone can be reduced by guaranteed ride back home (8%), reserved parking place (7%) and cost subsidy (4%). HOV lanes can reduce drive-alone commuting with only 2%. Predictions on all incentives together give an estimate of 23% (standard error 4.3%) reduction in drive-alone commuting.
