Fare Free Public Transportation: A full-scale real-world experiment in Alexandria, Virginia
| 项目名称： | Fare Free Public Transportation: A full-scale real-world experiment in Alexandria, Virginia |
| 摘要： | The Fare Free Public Transportation (FFPT) concept and the related measures to improve transit offer is in the agenda of transit agencies, state and federal policy makers. The subject is even more important in the post-pandemic phase when transit use is slowly recovering and has not yet reached pre-pandemic ridership and market share. FFPT has been implemented in Europe and to a certain degree in the USA; however, there are very few studies that have followed the experiments, collected data, and evaluated the consequences. This study will monitor a full scale, real world, FFPT plan to be implemented starting from fall 2021 in Alexandria, Virginia. The researcher will work with local authorities and will support the transit agency (DASH) by providing rigorous measures of changes in travel behavior and social welfare. In particular, the following indicators will be estimated: modal shift from car and other modes to transit, accessibility and equity, and customer satisfaction. This policy evaluation is expected to be of interest not only to Alexandria, but will be a reference for many stakeholders across the country that are considering adopting similar policies in other cities. |
