An Approach to Comprehensively Evaluate Potential Park and Ride Facilities

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: A park and ride facility provides an option to car drivers to park their cars and switch to public transportation for the remaining portions of their trips. Although park and ride has been implemented in many cities in the United States and integrated with different modes of transportation, no comprehensive approach has been developed in published literature to assess the feasibility of a potential park and ride site. This research proposes a comprehensive approach, which consists of the following tasks, to evaluate potential park and ride facilities: Site location analysis Bus system reliability analysis Parking supply and usage analysis Mode choice model User demand and ridership estimation Cost estimation and economic impacts analysis The application of the proposed tasks was demonstrated through a case study of a site in the City of El Paso, Texas.
