The e-survey results (see Figure 1) point to an underserved market opportunity for public transportation use among the roughly one-third of drive-alone commuters who identify as "practical and cost-conscious" and are responsive to rising fuel prices, worsening traffic congestion, and/or time-efficient transit alternatives. The educational benefits of the proposed program is viewed as an important first step in driving conversion to transit and shared-use transportation options and achieving system performance improvements.Ī February 2017 e-survey with 6,000 employee respondents in the Inland Empire distributed to a mix of county, municipal, health care, and private industry employers revealed valuable insights into commuter perspectives and attitudes regarding shared-use transportation (including transit, carpools, and vanpools). The proposed project targets travelers who might be receptive to using transit on an occasional or more regular basis, but encounter informational and logistical barriers that often dissuade them from undertaking a multimodal trip-barriers such as which service to use, where to park, how much the service will cost, how to pay for the service, and how to effectuate a return trip. This combination of project elements will use technology not only to better coordinate existing services and leverage recent infrastructure investments in the corridor by RCTC and its state and local partners, but also to educate travelers about the availability of increasingly robust and competitive alternatives to driving in a single-occupant vehicle and to consolidate relevant travel information in a user-friendly way.īy delivering travel information in a visible, real-time manner via both changeable message signs and the enhancement of the IECommuter mobile app, the proposed program will increase awareness of the travel-time and cost advantages of services operating parallel to the SR 91 corridor.
