This case study of the Milwaukee-Chicago Hiawatha Service line investigates the impacts of a new station on an existing intercity rail line over time on the existing stations. The Milwaukee Airport Rail Station opened on this route on January 2005. Using data from more than 10,000 passenger surveys obtained between 2002 and 2016, this analysis presents information of the new station ramp-up of ridership from opening to the present time as well as the home distribution of passengers and characteristics of passengers with respect to time and space. The analysis results showed a ramp-up existence for the new rail station and showed no reason for not using the Federal Railroad Administration recommended planning spatial distribution guidance of 10 and 30-mile distance radius for rail stations. 2017-09-14 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou150116887557228 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou150116887557228 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
