Abstract:

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has initiated a study into the feasibility of locating an intermodal passenger transportation facility in downtown Milwaukee. That feasibilty study requires an evaluation of a very wide range of alternatives. The last concerted effort to develop evaluation criteria for intermodal passenger transfer facilities in the US dates to the 1970's. Since then issues, technologies, experiences and priorities have shifted and evolved. A new look at intermodal evaluation is appropriate. This report is a distillation of opinion from a large number of transit system users, transportation planners and authors. However, opinion by itself is not very useful for intermodal station plans in Milwalukee or anywhere else. Taking the next logical step, this report presents a cafeteria of methods for preliminary desing, location and evaluation of intermodal passenger transfer

facilities. In some cases methods were adapted from multimodal transportation planning. But in all cases the methods address those factors more important to the choice of a project alternative. The priorities attached to various methods was established by first creating a

list of 70 generic objectives for the evaluation of an intermodal passenger transfer facility and then having a large panel of experts rate each generic objective. The generic objectives spanned all categories of system planning, internal design, external design and modal interfaces. An analysis of the ratings revealed that most important were objectives for assuring safety and security and objectives for improving transfers and transfer opportunities.

Architectural and building considerations were least important.
