National Ridesharing Demonstration Program: Regional Rideshare Promotion in North Carolina

摘要

The case study reports on a multi-jurisdictional ridesharing program centered in the Piedmont Crescent area of North Carolina, funded under the National Ridesharing Demonstration Program. The Crescent encompasses three metropolitan areas: the Triangle area of Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill; the Metrolina area centered in Charlotte; and the Triad, comprised of Greensboro, High Point and Winston-Salem. The demonstration was most useful in its development and exploration of the appropriate institutional or organizational structure to accomplish regional/intercity ridesharing. The report is largely devoted to documenting these various arrangements, and the methods they employed.
