Forecasting demand for peripheral park-and-ride service. Paper presented at the 54th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board TRB, Washington, January 1975.

A method of estimating the usage of peripheral park-and-ride services is demonstrated. The purpose of such a method is to evaluate the demand potential of alternative park-and-ride service operations. The data used in this study are based on a license-plate survey conducted in two peripheral park-and-ride lots. Results indicate that differences in travel time, cost, and distance from the park-and-ride mode and the alternative mode as well as the location of the parking lot have a bearing on whether a park-and-ride service is able to attract patronage from its potential service-area.
