Energy Savings from Transit Passes: An Evaluation of the University at Buffalo NFTA Transit Pass Program for Students, Faculty, and Staff
| 项目名称： | Energy Savings from Transit Passes: An Evaluation of the University at Buffalo NFTA Transit Pass Program for Students, Faculty, and Staff |
| 摘要： | Commuting incentives can produce mode shifts that reduce vehicle travel and promote trips to work on foot, bicycle, and public transit. The University at Buffalo (UB) began purchasing pre-paid Metro Rail passes from the local transit agency, the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA), in 2010 and distributing the transit passes free of charge to students, faculty, and staff. The passes are valid for unlimited use on Buffalo's light rail system, which connects two of the three university campuses. The UB-NFTA Metro Rail pass program has not yet been evaluated. With funding from the University Transportation Research Center (UTRC), we propose to assess the costs and benefits of the UB-NFTA Metro Rail pass program, with a focus on outcomes that align with both the UTRC and Departments of Transportation (DOT's) focus on promoting livable and sustainable communities through quality of life improvements. |
