| Abstract | This report examines the reporting of passenger boardings (unlinked passenger trips) by NPS transit systems that use a ticket sales conversion methodology. By studying and validating the park units' passenger boarding methodology from converting ticket sales, the Volpe Center found that most small systems are applying the correct multiplier, however, large, more complex systems have a more difficult time estimating their multiplier. Through one on-site visit and four qualitative interviews, the Volpe Center summarizes its qualitative and quantitative findings in this report. |
