• Abstract:
  The realization that one can no longer build out of congestion while preserving the urban environment has led to an increasing interest in the potential application of transportation control measures (TCM) for curbing travel demand. One such TCM that is being considered by transportation planning agencies around the country is parking pricing where parking prices and/or taxes are imposed in an attempt to encourage travelers (and more specifically, commuters) to consider alternative modes of transportation. This paper provides an analysis of stated response data collected from a sample of commuters in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan are in 1994. The data collection effort involved the administration of an elaborate activity-based travel survey together with a TCM questionnaire that collected information on how commuters would adapt to parking pricing based TCM?s. Hypothetical parking pricing scenarios were presented to the survey respondents and their stated adaptations or responses were recorded. This paper is organized as follows. Following an introductory section, a description of the data set and survey sample used in this study is provided. The third section provides results of a bivariate descriptive statistical analysis aimed at identifying socio-demographic and travel indicators that are significantly related to commuters? stated response to parking pricing. The fourth section provides results of the discriminant analysis that was conducted to explore relationships in a multivariate statistical framework. Based on the results of the exploratory analysis presented in this paper, conclusions are drawn and directions for further research are outlined in the last section. 11p.
