| Abstract | Part of a three-volume work, this report describes the analysis performed on travel data collected for the Pre-PRT Impact Study. The data analyzed consist of travel behavior, travel patterns, model utilization and travel costs of various modes of travel in Morgantown before the revenue operation of the PRT in Morgantown. The analysis resulted in estimates of travel by various subpopulations by automobile, university bus and city/county bus systems in Morgantown. Further analysis conducted yielded estimates of traffic flow between various activity centers in Morgantown. Trip generation, trip distribution and modal split were estimated for Morgantown PRT corridor travel before the revenue operation of the PRT. |
