Following the 1979 gasoline shortages, the Department of Transportation proposed a program to expand mass transit capacity and to increase transit commuting by 50 percent. The Department also set a goal of doubling the number of people who commute in carpools and vanpools (ridesharing). Increasing transit commuting through capacity expansion can be costly in terms of transit operating costs, deficits, and subsidies, and obstacles will have to be overcome to achieve the carpool/vanpool commuting goal. This report provides the Congress with information to use when it considers legislative and funding proposals directed at increasing commuters' use of mass transit and ridesharing.
