Abstract:

The major objectives of the study are to: (1) describe and summarize the transfer policies currently in use on U.S. transit properties; (2) identify reasons why properties use or do not use particular transfer policies; (3) determine the consequences of alternative transfer policies in different settings; and (4) analyze and identify situations or settings in which particular transfer policies can be applied beneficially. A transfer policy consists of a set of operator actions involving vehicle routing and scheduling, transfer charges, information for passengers, and terminal facilities, which affects the movement of passengers between transit vehicles as part of a continuing trip. This study examines the current use and impacts of eleven potential transfer policy components related to these operator actions. The effects of each component on operator costs, user satisfaction, ridership, and revenue, are related to such site-specific factors as historical and current patterns of passenger flows, route structure, service frequency, shape and size of the service area, layout of the central business district, and degree of schedule adherence. Based on these relationships, the situations or settings in which particular transfer policies can most beneficially be applied are identified.
