The project-promoted park-and-ride operations the Shirley Highway led to sizable increases in bus patronage: Park-and-riders, commuters who traveled by auto to a bus stop and then by bus to work, greatly expanded the market for the fixed route bus service in the Shirley Highway Corridor area. The report presents results of a study of the successful park-and-ride operation within the Shirley Highway Corridor area: suburban fringe parking lots coupled with the high speed buses of the Shirley Highway Express-Bus-on-Freeway Project. Demographic characteristics of the park-and riders as well as characteristics of their present park-and-ride and previous commute trips are examined. Factors important in the commuters' decisions to park-and ride are identified. The report also describes the survey procedures used.
