| 摘要： | High quality parking provision is a vital component of BRT, particularly for achieving the goal of attracting choice riders. Most successful BRT systems in the U.S. provide Park and Ride (P&R) facilities, which are often linked to exclusive running ways (like in Pittsburg) or virtual bus ways (e.g. HOV lanes), as employed in Houston, Minneapolis and Denver. The Smart Park concept is the ultimate tool for the advancement of P&R for BRT, utilizing state-of-the-art ITS technology to increase the speed and efficiency of modal transfer, and providing the premium image desired by BRT systems. However, Smart Parks require significant financial resources. The vast majority of both shared use and single-use P&R facilities do not charge a parking fee. Parking fees are normally only charged at P&R lots provided on heavily patronized transit systems, usually rail systems in major metropolitan areas, where the lots are at, or close to, and capacity (Turnbull 2004). In some cases, P&R users are willing to pay for P&R use in return for additional capacity, reserved spaces or increased security. Feasible charging structures include: a flat Fee thought the day; a surcharge for peak-hour parking; and weekly and monthly passes. Public sector P&R funding can be obtained from local, state, and federal sources, and this is the preferred scenario in order to maintain public oversight and control. However, financial constraints make private sector collaboration attractive through appropriately contracted shared-use P&R arrangements. This option can be used effectively as a supplement to a primary network of single-use sites. Hybrid P&R, which combines different aspects of single-use and shared-use P&R, can potentially harness the best features of both single-use and shared-use schemes. |
