Abstract:

The relation between modal use and parking restrictions was analyzed by examining changes in travel behavior over time during a period of substantial change in parking restrictions, transit service, and transit fares. The situation examined was choice of travel modes to a major trip generator, the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. This area has major parking-congestion problems that have been partially alleviated by special transit services and remote parking lots. These systems have also been developed in conjunction with changes in parking restrictions. From an analysis of modal choices over time, it was found that shifts to transit use have occurred as a result of tighter parking restrictions and the shifts away from transit have occurred as a result of fare changes. Carpoolers seem to be most sensitive to changes, while the drive-along category showed less sensitivity. An analysis of respondents' reactions to probable future situations also indicated similar results. /Author/
