- Abstract
- The IPCD data covers the following types of passenger transportation terminals: •Scheduled Airline Service Airports.•Intercity bus stations (includes stations served by regular scheduled intercity bus service such as Greyhound and Trailways, code sharing buses such as "Amtrak Thruway" feeder buses, supplemental buses that provide additional frequencies along rail routes, and airport bus services from locations that are outside of the airport Metropolitan Area.•Intercity and transit ferry terminals.•Light rail transit stations.•Heavy rail transit stations.•Passenger rail stations on the national rail network serving both commuter rail and intercity rail services.
- Purpose
- Over 55 percent of the approximately 7,100 passenger transportation terminals in the United States offer travelers the ability to connect among the scheduled passenger transportation modes according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics' recently completed Intermodal Passenger Connectivity Database (IPCD). Rail stations are most likely to offer connectivity, while connections are least likely to exist at airports. The IPCD is the first ever national quantification of the degree of connectivity in the passenger transportation system. It provides data on how many modes provide service at, or within a close radius of the rail, air, intercity bus and ferry terminals in the United States.
