Abstract:

THE STUDY REPORTED IS ORGANIZED AROUND THE EXTENSION OF THE CLEVELAND TRANSIT SYSTEM (CTS) RAIL RAPID TRANSIT LINE TO HOPKINS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. AN OBJECTIVE IN THIS STUDY HAS BEEN TO DEVELOP THE MEANS TO MAKE ACCURATE FORECASTS OF TRANSIT DEMAND AS A SUPPLEMENTARY MODE FOR AIRPORT ACCESS, BASED ON THE EMPIRICAL DATA AND EXPERIENCE IN CLEVELAND. THE RAPID RAIL LINK TO THE CLEVELAND AIRPORT REPRESENTED A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR SUCH A PROJECT; IT IS ONLY DIRECT CONNECTION OF A RAPID RAIL SYSTEM TO A MAJOR AIRPORT IN THE UNITED STATES AND WAS ONLY MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH A FEDERAL GRANT UNDER THE MASS TRANSPORTATION ACT OF 1964. TO THE EXTENT THAT GRANT APPLICATIONS FOR SIMILAR EXTENSIONS MAY BE MADE IN THE NEAR FUTURE AND BECAUSE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR COORDINATING AND PROMOTING INTERSTATE TRANSPORTATION, THIS STUDY WILL HAVE A DIRECT APPLICATION IN POLICY DECISIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT. IT WILL ALSO PROVIDE SOME VALUABLE INFORMATION THAT CAN BE USED ON THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVELS FOR REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNING. /AUTHOR/
