Traveler Response to Transportation System Changes, Chapter 3: Park-and-Ride/Pool

Park-and-ride and park-and-pool (Park-and-Ride/Pool) facilities range from multi-story 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. This chapter, Chapter 3, will be of interest to transit and transportation planning practitioners; educators and researchers; and professionals across a broad spectrum of transportation agencies, metropolitan planning organizations, and local, state, and federal government agencies.
