To reduce negative effects of congestion delays and adverse community impacts, several people-moving strategies were implemented: a new commuter train, third-party van-pool program, high occupancy vehicle (HOV) ramps, new park-and-ride lots, new express bus service, and traffic operation improvements on local streets. Study of these alternative transportation strategies included pre-, during- and post-construction measurements of traffic characteristics, strategy usage, and user responses; an evaluation of strategy effectiveness; and suggestions for applications to future projects. The report presents the results of the second-year study, and discusses the use of alternative strategies, panel-survey results, and strategy effectiveness.
