Analysis of carpooling in Missouri and an evaluation of Missouri's carpool services
The evaluation is both a statistical profile of carpooling in Missouri as well as an experimental use of utilizing secondary data analysis in combination with clientele surveys to measure the impact of the Division of Energy's carpooling programs. Kansas City, mid-Missouri and St. Louis are examined. Secondary data analysis seems to indicate that during the period from 1980 to 1983 carpooling increased but vehicle occupancy counts decreased simultaneously with increasing gasoline prices. The evaluation theorizes that the Civilian Labor Force masked carpool statistics - growing at a faster rate than the carpooling growth rate. In conjunction with clientele surveys, the secondary data analysis measures the Division of Energy's impact on carpooling at 2.6% of all carpoolers in Kansas City and 1.0% of all carpoolers in St. Louis during 1983.
