Evaluation of existing mass transit operations; analyzation of present and projected needs to ensure balanced overall transportation system for achieving maximum utilization of each component. Mass transit survey findings, obtained by reviewing existing transit routes, equipment, and facilities of transit companies in the study area including those of Virginia Transit Company and suburban lines, outline existing operations. Information for developing transit travel patterns is provided by two origin-destination surveys. Analysis and projections of transit travel in the Richmond Region considers characteristics of transit trip generation and transit riding related to the projected physical characteristics of the region and projected transit travel patterns. Projections of land use, population, and employment for 1980 do not indicate changes which will adversely affect the present advantageous position of public transit in Richmond. Projected increases in the total number of all types of trips in the urban area by 1980 reflect an increasing need for transit to accommodate the maximum number of trips within a 6-mile radius from the heart of the city.
