This research was conducted on Staten Island, New York, and provides an analytical tool to evaluate the viability of implementing new waterborne passenger transportation systems. The analysis of passenger travel characteristics and ridership potential is conducted using a logit-based demand model. The model and data collection techniques are discussed, including the essential elements of time, cost, comfort, convenience, special enjoyment, and validation. Special emphasis is given to the analysis of passenger travel characteristics and mode potential using demand modeling. The model is used to estimate the effects of policy decisions on travel behavior. The effects of these changes are represented in terms of overall patronage estimates by varying the values of one or two variables. This study area is served by passenger ferry, express bus, and automobile operating in direct competition with each other. This relationship makes the model suitable for transfer to other locations with similar geographical configurations.
