Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 交通管理學系 === 89 === Transport policy should not be limited only to position statement. It requires specific strategies and actions related to goals and objectives and which derived from careful quantified studies and evaluations. From the viewpoint of transport system, the content of urban transport policies can be classified into four categories namely investment, pricing, regulation and subsidy. Among them, investment is the mostly used strategy in the past. In fact, these four policy elements are interrelated to each other and thus should be combined to form a goal-related integrated transport policy. This study tries to suggest a comprehensive framework and systematic approach for analyzing and evaluating the performance of urban transport policies. And, Kaohsiung city is used as case study to simulate the interrelationship among the above mentioned of four policy elements. The major findings include: 1) The single element policy evaluation indicated that the investment is indeed an useful strategy for promoting the market share of public transit (the rapid transit with light rail system would increase the public transport market share up to 15.84%). The effect of pricing and regulation alone would be less significant; 2) The two elements policy evaluation indicated that investment-pricing, investment-regulation, or pricing-regulation combinations all have makeup effect than single elements policy; 3) The three elements policy evaluation indicated that investment, pricing as well as the significant raising of parking fees together would have the most dramatic effect to increase public transport market share (could be above 24%); 4) The makeup effect could be even higher if subsidy to public transport is added. Finally, we try to represent the simulation results graphically for future reference.
