The overall objective of this research is to develop an analytical framework to improve understanding of how current or potential intercity travelers make the choice to travel by air, rail, bus, or private automobile for the majority of their trip. This framework should provide guidance for use by a diverse audience of practitioners and decision makers considering alternative planning, operating, financing, service, and capital investment strategies for intercity passenger rail service in existing and potential travel markets, and it should allow users to evaluate how mode choice is affected by a variety of changing and evolving parameters. A second objective is to produce this analytical framework on two levels: one that is designed to help the practitioner understand the interaction of key factors in the process of attitude formation toward intercity travel by mode; and a second level in which these relationships are operationalized with methods designed to be ultimately incorporated into the transportation demand forecasting process.”
