Rural Intercity Bus Demand: Phase II

The objectives of the project are as follows: Incorporate previously estimated mode choice model into a North Dakota statewide travel demand model. Identify corridors in North Dakota with the greatest demand for intercity bus service. Conduct scenario analysis to estimate the effects of projected population and demographic changes, gas prices, and service changes. Describe attitudes to intercity travel in North Dakota, the impacts of attitudes on mode choice, and changes in attitudes in recent years.
