Park-and-ride (P&R) facilities, when combined with the advantages of urban rail transit, have the potential to alleviate congestion problems and promote multimodal transportation. However, some facilities face operational and utilization issues in terms of efficiency and capacity, which may not fully meet users’ needs. Therefore, it is essential to conduct research that addresses challenges related to user parking and facility operation. A critical step in this direction is to study relevant indicators that comprehensively measure the operational efficiency and capacity of the facilities, and to find effective methods to tackle problems in P&R operation. This study examined and selected data indicators for P&R facilities around targeted stations, taking those around Nanjing urban rail transit stations as an example. Data envelopment analysis was employed to establish a P&R operational efficiency and capacity evaluation model. This model was enriched with a comprehensive evaluation of multiple factors that affect P&R, with these factors significantly influencing the recorded evaluation results. By identifying operational issues in P&R facilities around Nanjing urban rail transit stations, this study proposed optimization solutions to enhance their operational efficiency and capacity. The findings can serve as a reference for the coordinated development of P&R facilities and urban rail transit.
