GENERIC OBJECTIVES FOR EVALUATION OF INTERMODAL PASSENGER TRANSFER FACILITIES

Abstract

A list of generic objectives is a tool for initiating the evaluation process for project alternatives for an intermodal passenger transfer facility. Such a list should contain all objectives that might be important to any project. This paper presents a list of 70 objectives developed through a literature review and through interviews with users. Each objective on the list was rated by a panel of experts on transportation planning and station design. An analysis of the ratings revealed that most important were objectives for ensuring safety and security and objectives for improving transfers and transfer opportunities. Less important were objectives relating to the environment and to finance. Architectural, building, and site considerations were rated as least important.
