“…Subsequently, the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1968 authorized federal funding for demonstration projects, such as remote park-and-ride facilities. The first of such was built in Woodbridge, New Jersey (Noel, 1988). Today, California has the largest remote park-and-ride lot capacities in the U.S. As of July 2010, there were 327 park-and-ride facilities run by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), with 33,889 parking spaces (Caltrans, 2010).…”

Since the late-1990s, numerous ridematching programs have integrated the Internet, mobile phones, and social networking into their services. Online ridematching systems are employing a range of new strategies to create "critical mass:" 1) regional and large employer partnerships, 2) financial incentives, 3) social networking to younger populations, and 4) real-time ridematching services that employ "smartphones" and automated ridematching software. Enhanced casual carpooling approaches, which focus on "meeting places," are also being explored. Today, ridesharing represents approximately 8 to 11% of the transportation modal share in Canada and the United States, respectively. There are approximately 638 ridematching programs in North America.Ridesharing's evolution can be categorized into five phases: 1) World War II car-sharing (or carpooling) clubs; 2) major responses to the 1970s energy crises; 3) early organized ridesharing schemes; 4) reliable ridesharing systems; and 5) technology-enabled ridematching. While ridesharing's future growth and direction are uncertain, the next decade is likely to include greater interoperability among services, technology integration, and stronger policy support. In light of growing concerns about climate change, congestion, and oil dependency, more research is needed to better understand ridesharing's impacts on infrastructure, congestion, and energy/emissions.

“…Park-and-ride lots have become a prominent feature of dense metropolitan regions in the United States since their emergence in the 1930s (Noel 1988). These facilities are used to promote the use of higher-occupancy transit vehicles in urban areas by providing commuters with a more convenient means-driving-to access transit service (Turnbull 1995).…”
