Abstract:This is the companion volume to the research report on Evidence on Time-of-Day Transit Pricing in the United States . This volume serves as an expanded appendix to the Volume 1 report, principally providing detailed case-by-case summaries on experiences with time-of-day transit pricing to date. It provides the interested reader with more in-depth background information on the reasons for adopting time-of-day pricing, the impacts recorded to date, implementation issues, a national survey of transit officials, along with a theoretical summary of the time-of-day pricing concept. Appendix I presents thirty-two individual case study summaries on time-of-day transit pricing experiences. Attention focuses on each rationale for adopting time-of-day pricing, trends and impacts associated with the fare programs, and assorted implementation issues. Performance data and statistics are generally provided for each case study. Appendix II presents the theory of peak-load and time-of-day pricing, in particular as it bears on the American transit industry. Efficiency and equity arguments in favor of time-of-day pricing are charted in the second appendix. Some of the classical literature on this topic are also discussed. Appendix III briefly summarizes a national survey conducted whereby a range of questions associated with time-of-day fares were asked. Background information on respondents and their agencies is included in Appendix III.
