Measures of park and rides along the I-90 corridor in the central Puget Sound region.
Park and ride lot utilization
Park and ride lots provide locations for commuters to meet up with a carpool or vanpool, or catch a bus to work if transit does not come close to their home. WSDOT monitors the usage of Park and ride lots owned or managed by public agencies, as well as private lots. See WSDOT's How to calculate Park and ride utilization (PDF 5.9 MB).
