• Abstract:
  Ride-haling such as Uber and Lyft are changing the ways people travel and is critical to forecasting mode choice demands and providing adequate infrastructure. Despite widespread claims that these services help reduce driving and the need for parking, there is little research on these topics. This research project uses ethnographic methods – complemented with passenger surveys where one of the authors drove for Uber and Lyft in the Denver, Colorado, region – to collect quantitative and qualitative data on ride-hailing and analyze the impacts of ride-hailing on deadheading, vehicle occupancy, mode replacement, vehicle miles traveled (VMT), and parking. The dataset includes actual travel attributes from 416 ride-hailing rides – Lyft, UberX, LyftLine, and UberPool – and travel behavior and sociodemographics from 311 passenger surveys.
