    • Abstract:
      An in-depth investigation of the ridesharing programs in the Baltimore and

      suburban Washington, D.C. areas was needed in light of the apparent difficulty

      in increasing ridership on the existing ridesharing programs. Many of the

      studies done on ridesharing suggest that social, psychological and other

      personal factors may influence reidesharing as much as economic factors such as

      saving gasoline. To understand personal, social psychological and other factors

      affecting ridesharing programs, the "Ridesharer Survey" was designed and

      administered. The analysis of this survey was performed from two different

      aspects. One involved general statistics. Here, all the ridesharers were

      considered as one group and their general characteristics were analyzed. The

      other was a comparative statistical analysis in which ridesharers were grouped

      into different categories, such as by income, age, sex, marital status and race

      etc. and their statistics were compared to determine how these variable affect

      ridesharing. An "Agency Survey" was performed to study in a systematic way the

      reasons for varying levels of effectiveness of ridesharing programs offered by

      different organizations. The objectives of the agency based survey were to

      find: 1)the relationship between employee size and the number of employees

      engaged in ridesharing programs; 2)the role of the Vango program in Maryland;

      and 3)the effectiveness of specific incentives offered by various agencies. The

      incentives included were: 1)free parking; 2)preferential parking; and

      3)subsidies for ridesharers.
