Research of Transportation Policy for Low-Cost, Intercity Express Bus Industry within the Northeast Corridor
| 项目名称： | Research of Transportation Policy for Low-Cost, Intercity Express Bus Industry within the Northeast Corridor |
| 摘要： | Intercity bus service is now the fastest growing mode of intercity transportation in the United States-outpacing air and rail transportation. However, despite the rapid growth in this mode of transportation, intercity bus industry operation raise a number of policy questions as well. Transportation policy issues that need to be studied include the industry's unregulated environment, lack of intermodal linkages, operating inconsistencies among carriers, level of service vs. demand for service, impact on federally-supported transportation modes and competition among other intercity modes within the Northeast transportation corridor. Because intercity bus travel is important to the resiliency of the Northeast corridor and the overall transportation network, it merits further attention and discourse among transportation planners, stakeholders and policy makers. The objective of this project is to research transportation policy issues for the low-cost, intercity express bus industry within the Northeast corridor- from Washington D.C. to New York City. To accomplish this objective, research tasks include conducting a literature review and data collection on the intercity bus industry, a field assessment of curbside operations in the Philadelphia metropolitan areas, and a workshop of stakeholders. Research results will be summarized in a hard-copy and online-briefing paper. |
