Traveler Reponse to Transportation System Changes. Chapter 3-Park and Ride/Pool

摘要

Park-and-ride and park-and-pool (Park-and-Ride/Pool) facilities range from multistory parking garages with customer amenities to simple surface parking lots. They may vary in purpose from serving a major intermodal transportation center to simply facilitating carpools. This chapter covers travel demand and related aspects of providing and supporting park-and-ride and park-and-pool facilities. Specifically, this chapter addresses park-and-ride and park-and-pool facilities working together with supportive features and in coordination with high occupancy vehicle lanes; busways; bus rapid transit and other express bus services; and light rail transit, commuter rail, and heavy rail transit facilities and services. Chapter 3 does not, however, focus on supporting elements or the coordinated HOV or transit facilities and services in and of themselves. Thus, the reader may also wish to consult Chapter 2, 'HOV Facilities,' Chapter 4, 'Busways, BRT and Express Bus,' Chapter 5, 'Vanpools and Buspools,' Chapter 7, 'Light Rail Transit,' and Chapter 8, 'Commuter Rail,' in particular. Park-and-ride facilities on the periphery of the central business district (CBD) are covered within Chapter 18, 'Parking Management and Supply.' Walking and bicycling as transportation modes of access are addressed in Chapter 16, 'Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities.'
