The purpose of the study was to investigate the feasible alternate solutions to the commuter traffic problem on the University of Maryland campus. It was the objective of the study to recommend to the Administration of the University of Maryland a system which will alleviate the commuter traffic and the parking space required to accommodate this traffic on campus. The research considers three possible alternatives to the commuter transportation problem: the present auto system, the auto-bus system, and the auto-bus system with regulated parking. The study examines each alternative, considering both the ranges and constraints of variables related to the supply and demand characteristics of each system. The study contrasts and compares both present conditions with the projected needs for each system. It finally compares each system using a very basic cost-benefit analysis. (Author)
