Between May 1980 and July 1982, the City of Lincoln, Nebraska, conducted a Home-End Ridesharing Demonstration Project. The objective of the project was to assist residents of three neighborhoods to travel by means other than single-occupancy vehicle. Techniques used in the project included a canvass of residents by neighboring ridesharing agents, a matching effort focused on school trips, and a special Christmas holiday shopper shuttle bus. This report presents the findings of the evaluation of the project. The critical issues examined in this evaluation are whether the demonstration project assisted people in finding alternative means of travel and whether, as a result of the demonstration, residents made more of their trips by alternative means. Another important idea tested in Lincoln was whether personal attention had any impact on changing people's methods of travel. The evaluation found that the demonstration had mixed results. These results are discussed in the report.
