Quantitative Procedures for Designing and Operating Ferry Services
Ferry transportation services play an important role in regional transportation—providing additional
transit capacity to transportation networks and serving as a lifeline for many geographically-isolated
communities.
The TRB Transit Cooperative Research Program's
TCRP Research Report 238: Quantitative Procedures for Designing and Operating Ferry Services
presents guidance for scheduled and fixed-route ferry transit services and facilities that serve passengers as well as passengers and vehicles. Guidance focuses on defining the capacity of a ferry system and understanding capacity challenges, and includes quantitative procedures for designing and operating ferry services.
