Abstract:The Golden Gate Vanpool Demonstration Project (GGVDP) was an UMTA-sponsored Service & Management demonstration project that began operations in October 1977 and terminated June 30, 1980. The grantee, Golden Gate Bridge Highway & Transportation District, is a toll bridge authority and multimodal public transportation agency in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. It operates buses and ferries, controls a toll bridge, and shares control of a high-occupancy vehicle highway lane that feeds into the bridge and leads to the San Francisco employment area. The project was designed to test the feasibility of a public sector transportation agency promoting the formation of vanpool groups and then transitioning these groups into nonproject vans. This Summary Report presents the major findings and innovations of the GGVDP over a three-year period of time. The demonstration successfully tested a public transit agency's ability to institutionally create and administer a vanpool program, and to convert the vanpool groups from project vans into private vanpool arrangements. The data collected and analysis performed have been condensed into this summary format to facilitate broad dissemination to others involved in or considering promoting ridesharing. The Interim Report (July 1979, PB 300-685, A14) covered project operations from July 1977 through June 1978. It provides detailed documentation of early project design issues and an extensive analysis of early marketing activities, costs, and vanpool operations.
