Analysing the Relationship Between Park-and-Ride Facilities and Private Motorised Trips Indicators

The current trend towards sustainable transport planning has led to various studies seeking strategies to reduce private motorised trip externalities in urban areas, but few studies that consider the effectiveness of park-and-ride facilities have been conducted. This paper introduces two models developed to evaluate the relationship between urban travel modes factors and infrastructure factors such as park-and-ride facilities as independent variables and duration and percentage of daily trips by private motorised vehicles as dependent variables. A set of data from 36 cities in different parts of the world was used to examine this relationship in various contexts. The strength of the relationships was estimated by multiple linear regression analysis. Based on the relationships, park-and-ride facilities are not significant factors in reducing the duration and percentage of daily trips by private motorised vehicles.
