The major goal of the report is to increase the understanding of impacts of this transit extension with the view toward the planning of future extensions. The major data source for the study was a ridership survey. The questionnaire was developed to determine a variety of ridership characteristics and transit extension impacts;i.e., time of use, mode of transportation to the station, previous mode of travel, origin, destination, reasons for use, propensity to transfer, time saved or lost, and a variety of socio-economic characteristics. A sample questionnaire is included in this report. Chapters include the introduction-methodology, historical review, planning considerations, engineering design aspects, ridership characteristics, impacts on traffic volume and patterns, economic impacts, and land use impacts. Conclusions are presented. A bibliography is furnished.
