HOUSTON PARK-AND-RIDE FACILITES: AN ANALYSIS OF SURVEY DATA

This report presents the results of park-and-ride user surveys, non-user surveys, and traffic surveys performed in the Houston metropolitan area and compares those results to similar surveys performed in the Dallas area as part of previous studies. In addition to obtaining socioeconomic, demographic, and travel information, the surveys were designed to: 1) identify the features of the existing service that are most important in generating ridership; and 2) identify what additional features could be added to the existing service and be most effective in increasing ridership. The findings are intended to be of value both in planning and operating park-and-ride facilities. (FHWA)
