Abstract A parking utilization survey was undertaken with the main objective of analyzing and comparing the daily workday utilization patterns of two main park and ride stations within the Kuala Lumpur conurbation. This study also aimed to gauge the level of usage of the park and ride facilities. The findings showed that the overall utilization pattern of the facilities was very high with a utilization rate of between 80 and 95%. The stations, however, recorded a contrasting accumulation pattern. The study further revealed that most of the rail-based suburban park and ride users were long term parkers. The results of this study are comparable to results of similar studies in Seoul, Calgary, Tyne and Wear and others. Since parking availability is an important factor that has influence on the behavior of a park and ride user, more accurate information relating to the supply and demand of the park and ride facility will assist in planning new transport infrastructure.
