Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the use of park-and-ride facilities and municipal parking policies as a mean of controlling the modal split in urban areas. A discriminant model was used to examine the reason why park-and-ride patrons shifted to that mode from a former automobile mode. The reduction in travel cost appears to be the main reason. Park-and-ride facility can be used as a planning tool to adjust the modal split if the service is properly designed.
