8.10.4 Mode Split 



The mode split between auto and non-auto 

 person trips is estimated at 

 approximately 50/50 on a daily basis, 

 (peak hour mode split is 40% auto to 60% 

 non-auto) . Non-auto person trips will 

 utilize rapid transit (73%) and bus 

 (11%). Person trips via rapid transit 

 will also use the shuttle bus, local bus 

 and walking to reach the transit 

 station(s). Providing a shuttle bus 

 route with reasonable headways is 

 important to maximize the usage.

 from "Urban Space for Pedestrian" 

 Pushkarev and Zupan, MIT Press, 1975, as 

 well as data from local sources. 



8.11 Taxi Waiting Area 



Taxi service will be a desirable and 

 beneficial transportation feature, since 

 it can provide on-call access to and from 

 the proposed development without long- 

 term parking demand. 



Previous studies indicate the expected 

 maximum taxi trip length will be 

 approximately two miles. (Shorter trips 

 will predominate.) This trip length will 

 cover areas such as downtown Boston, East
