Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


Increasing Commuting By Transit And

Ridesharinq Many Factors Should Be

Considered


i ll7II 60IiN

Following the 1979 gasoline shortages, the
Department of Transportation proposed a
program to expand mass transit capacity and
to increase transit commuting by 50 percent.
The Department also set a goal of doubling
the number of people who commute in car-
pools and vanpools (ridesharing). Increasing
transit commuting through capacity expansion
can be costly in terms of transit operating
costs, deficits, and subsidies, and obstacles will
have to be overcome to achieve the carpool/
vanpool commuting goal.


This report provides the Congress with infor-
mation to use when it considers legislative and
funding proposals directed at increasing com-
muters' use of mass transit and ridesharing.
