Abstract

The author describes a propensity model developed to study the effects of automobile parking fees, total transportation times, and walking distances on modal choice. The study indicates that walking times and transit frequency must be radically different from the current standards if there is to be a substantial diversion toward transit. Parking charges were found to be an effective instrument to create a shift to bus transit.
