THE EFFECTS OF PARKING FEES - A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of parking fees on modal choice, car - bicycle and car - public transport. In a preliminary study (see IRRD 236471) a forecast model was developed. This report compares the forecast with results of a subsequent study. The results are as follows: (1) car - bicycle: the results of the second study show a larger reduction of car use than the forecast model except for centrally located buildings. The differences are not significant. (2) car - public transport: the actual results show overall a larger reduction than predicted. The differences are not significant. /TRRL/
