INTERMODALISM—A SOLUTION FOR HIGHWAY CONGESTION AT THE MILLENNIUM?

Arthur L. Handman

Review of Policy Research, 2002, vol. 19, issue 2, 51-56

Abstract: Highway congestion in the Northeastern U.S. is increasing beyond practical ability to obtain relief by the construction of added lanes. Single mode solutions, including HOV lanes and transit, have failed to significantly mitigate problems of highway congestion. Traditional and innovative public transportation modes using intermodal centers and enhanced transfer facilities are discussed as solutions for the congestion. Efforts in Connecticut, including projects in New Haven, Norwalk, Hartford, and New Britain are examined to show the need for coordinated transportation services that provide seamless trip options for users.
