A FIELD SURVEY OF SITE VISITS TO PASSENGER INTERMODAL TRANSFER FACILITIES IN CALIFORNIA

This report deals with a project which is investigating passenger intermodal transfer facilities in urban areas of California in order to assess their operations and services. An additional objective is to recommend opportunities for using intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies in these settings. This evaluation is being conducted using three approaches: 1) site visits to intermodal sites; 2) institutional survey to assess the institutional perspective of transit properties; and, 3) user survey. The focus of this report of this report is the site visits. Thirteen site visits were conducted at passenger intermodal transfer facilities in the San Francisco Bay Area, metropolitan San Diego, and the Sacramento Area. Each site visit examined four stages of the intermodal transfer experience: approach to the facility, ticketing process, transfer within the facility, and departure from the facility. Comparisons and contrasts are used in forming generalized hypotheses regarding intermodalism.
