At the request of SEPTA, the DVRPC conducted detailed parking evaluations for 11 stations along the R3 Media / Elwyn Rail Line. DVRPC examined current parking conditions, and projected future parking conditions responding to latent demand and demographic growth within the rail line's commuter shed - for the Years 2005 and 2020. Projected parking levels were compared to planned parking expansions, proposed along the line by SEPTA and PennDOT for the year2001, to assess the adequacy of the planned Parking Program. The study incorporates findings from passenger surveys conducted at the Moylan-Rose Valley, Wallingford and Swarthmore stations. Additionally, the work estimates the effect of extending the R3 Line to a new terminal station at Wawa as an additional means in mitigating long term parking constraints projected for the line.Geographic Area Covered: most of Delaware County (32 municipalities) and 14 municipalities in south central Chester County, Pennsylvania
Key Words: regional rail station, parking utilization, parking supply, rail ridership, commuter shed, rail capture ratio, journey-to-work, latent demand for station parking, Rail Station Activity Assignment Model
