• Abstract:
  The objective of this project is to understand the trip patterns and socio-economics of customers who use the NLR. In addition, we seek to understand the characteristics of those exiting from I-280 (at Exit 13), near the Orange St. station and determine whether Orange St. could serve as an intermodal transfer site. Secondly, we provide an analysis of data collected from NLR customers for USDOT Title VI compliance monitoring. This data was weighted to provide a profile for the entire system and for every station on the NLR. Data include a summary of access modes to the stations providing a comparison with automobile drivers and passengers using Exit 13 and their destinations in downtown Newark as well as those transferring to NJ TRANSIT rail lines and PATH for destinations outside of Newark.
