Falzarano, S., Hazlett, R, and Adler, T. Quantifying the value of transit station and access improvements for Chicago’s rapid transit system. Presentation at Transportation Research Board 80th Annual Meeting January 7-11, 2001.
 * Washington, D.C.


 * This study was conducted to quantify the effects of potential changes to the Chicago rapid transit system’s stations and pedestrian access and to measured the impacts of these changes on rapid transit system ridership, revenue, and auto emissions. The study was based on an in-depth computer-based survey of a sample of people who either currently use rapid transit or who make trips that could reasonably be served. Preference information was collected using hybrid conjoint methods. Among other results it found that those for whom security features (lighting, cameras, police, station activity) have higher values than the other station features are predominantly younger, lower income, female, less frequent CTA rapid transit system riders.
