• Abstract:
  Efficient transportation systems are vital to quality-of-life and mobility issues, and an effective park-and-ride (P&R)
  
  network can help maximize system performance. Properly placed P&R facilities are expected to result in fewer calls
  
  to increase capacity by widening roadways, reduced congestion, increased transit ridership, promotion of
  
  multimodal transport and cleaner air for all of us to breathe.
  
  This Preliminary Investigation aims to expand on a 2005 Caltrans project that considered P&R and high-occupancy
  
  vehicle (HOV) transit enhancements1
  
  . We compile existing and current research and national and state activities
  
  related to quantifying the positive impacts that P&R lots have on the transportation system to highlight:
  
  • Best practices for measuring and improving the performance of existing P&R lots.
  
  • Factors that affect the success of P&R lots, including an assessment of where P&R lots should be placed to
  
  achieve the greatest benefit.
  
  • Effective practices for attracting P&R users.
