CDTA Park-and-RideExpress Bus StudyNew York, New York

BFJ Planning is working with CDTA to evaluate and improve park-and-ride facilities and express bus service in the Capital area. BFJ is documenting the physical condi-tions of 40 park-and-ride lots identified in the area. Surveys of all park-and-ride lot users (including kiss-and-ride and walk-and-ride users) provide the team with valu-able data regarding the user behavior and attitudes. User surveys will also help BFJ create market demand estimates for park-and-ride and express-bus usage.

BFJ will propose key strategies to improve services including the following: iden-tify potential locations for additional park-and-ride facilities, opportunities for new express routes, opportunities for bus service enhancements, including possibly shoulder running along congested highways, conceptual express service designs, wayfinding and signage improvements, as well as a framework for marketing and branding.
