Identification of Successful Ridesharing Strategies

Report No: 89-TA4

Published in 1989

About the report:

Ridesharing offers a relatively low-cost solution to the problems associated with high commuting costs, traffic congestion, unmet parking demands, energy shortages, and excessive air pollutants. Accordingly, it is worthwhile to develop a list of strategies that have been or are being used to encourage ridesharing and to make an assessment of the effectiveness of each. This report presents such a listing, which was developed primarily from a review of the literature. Further, an assessment of the effectiveness of each strategy in increasing ridesharing and its relative cost is discussed. This information was derived from a survey of ridesharing agencies in Virginia.
