Commuter rail service is seen as one way to relieve highw ay congestion and broaden the mix of transit options. One problem is that ridership cannot be determined until after the project is built. Therefore, it is necessary to gather estimates of the ridership potential along each possible rail corridor. This paper reports on the results of an asse...
