| 摘要： | Transit centers can become more than just a place for transportation. They can serve as destination places that accommodate diversity of uses and activities which promote transit ridership. Their location, quality of design, supporting amenities, and other development attributers can influence ridership. In this project, we use Harbor Transitway as a case study to assess the place based qualities of freeway transit centers with respect to amenity mix, appearance, access, comfort, convenience, security, business development opportunities, and pedestrian and park-and-ride linkages. In addition, we identify transit user needs and perceived gaps in services through surveys and interviews to develop broad performance measure of station area interface with the neighborhood and transit user needs. Our research suggests that Harbor Transit way station areas are not used efficiently or effectively. Some of the major problems cited by transit users include irregularity in bus service, inconvenient bus transfers, and insufficient public amenities, lack of public art, narrow sidewalks, unsafe crosswalks, high noise levels, poor station area maintenance, insufficient lighting, and perception of insecurity of waiting alone at the station. To increase transit ridership, we make design recommendations and suggest strategies to improve linkage between land use, transportation, and surrounding communities. |
