过境仅占美国总旅行量的2%。乘客量低的一个原因是交通有限;许多人居住或工作的地方离中转站太远，无法实际使用。在开发过境连通性解决方案时，研究人员经常采用一系列研究工具，如州偏好调查、焦点小组和试点项目。为了更好地了解对一个创新的交通解决方案的反应，应用了几种研究工具，包括纵向调查，现场测试和试点计划。研究的创新是一种名为CarLink的通勤汽车共享模式，该模式将短期租赁车辆与交通和就业中心联系起来。几年来，研究人员探索了用户对CarLink概念的反应，现场操作测试（CarLink I），试点计划（CarLink II）和商业运营（试点于2002年夏天移交给Flexcar）。这种多阶段的方法为研究人员提供了一个学习和适应每个阶段进展的机会。在本文中，作者概述了CarLink模型，技术和早期的经验教训;描述了CarLink II的操作理解;提供了试点项目过渡的概要;并为未来的模型开发提供了建议。
Transit accounts for just 2% of total travel in the United States. One reason for low ridership is limited access; many individuals either live or work too far from a transit station to make its use practical. In developing transit connectivity solutions, researchers often employ a range of study instruments, such as stated-preference surveys, focus groups, and pilot programs. To gain better understanding of response to one innovative transit solution, several research tools were applied, including a longitudinal survey, a field test, and a pilot program. The innovation examined was a commuter carsharing model, called CarLink, which linked short-term rental vehicles to transit and employment centers. Over several years, researchers explored user response to the CarLink concept, a field operational test (CarLink I), a pilot program (CarLink II), and a commercial operation (the pilot was turned over to Flexcar in summer 2002). This multistage approach provided an opportunity for researchers to learn and adapt as each phase progressed. In this paper, the authors outline the CarLink model, technology, and early lessons learned; describe CarLink II operational understanding; provide a synopsis of the pilot program transition; and offer recommendations for future model development.
