摘要: Carpool rates in Los Angeles are the highest of all metropolitan areas in the United States. But the carpool rate has not changed here since 1991, even with a mandatory employer-based vehicle trip reduction regulation involving over 6,000 employers and nearly 2 million commuters. Carpooling with co-workers has been increasing while carpooling with friends and family has been decreasing. Therefore, employer-based efforts have been responsible for maintaining regional rideshare rates. An analysis was conducted comparing co-worker carpoolers and carpoolers who ride with friends and family based on commute behavior, employment characteristics, attitudes toward the commute, and demographics. Carpooling with co-workers has produced greater reduction in vehicle trips and vehicle miles traveled than carpooling with family and friends. Those riding with co-workers are far more likely to consider commuting costs, comfort, and stress--perhaps a function of relatively long commute distances. More men, more commuters in the 30- to 39-year age group, more whites and blacks, and more commuters with household incomes of $50,000 or greater are now carpooling regularly as a result of employer efforts.
