In this paper, the authors study the morning commute problem with three models: transit, driving alone and carpool in a many-to-one corridor network. The transit mode uses its own separate guideline and solo derivers just can access parallel general purpose (GP) lane to reach the destination. Under parking restraint, the authors propose and compare commuting equilibrium and system performance distribution of parking permits. In order to cater commuters’ parking needs, the authors also introduce and compared two different tradable parking permits schemes among commuters in a free market. It is show that the price of parking permit, regardless of travel behavior, decrease with the parking supply and the price for a solo-driver to pay is larger than that a carpoolers should pay for. The authors also find that, the undifferentiated parking permit trading with a uniform price is much more efficient than the differentiated parking permits scheme based on travel behavior. Tradable permit scheme with a uniform price can exchange the departure orders between solo drivers and carpoolers, and incentive more solo drivers to carpool as the system performance schemes.
