Talk:Lentis/Slugging

History (Will): will probably be the longest and most extensive section of our chapter, so we should plan on multiple iterations. I'll do the first run through, and then each of you guys can do your own research later to fill any gaps that I may have missed the first time through.

Locations & Etiquette (Grace):

Alternative Carpooling Initiatives (Zach): This section will discuss other government initiated efforts to encourage carpooling. I know that the government has tried to encourage online message boards to allow people to set up carpools. This section will discuss how these initiatives have not been as successful as slugging has been. This section will probably be pretty short, but it could take a while to research.

If you run across any research that might be useful in another section, post it here in the discussion section. If you can fit it into the text that's already been written, you can just add it to the text.

Amey, A. (2010, Winter). Ridesharing Resurrection. TDM Review, 17(1). Describes the first observed increase in ride sharing in 2005 since 1970 and contributes this change to the rise in gas prices. It also discusses the change in attitude that lets one share their car with a stranger and vice-versa.

Amey, A. (2010, Winter). A Game of Incentives. TDM Review, 17(1). Has good graphs that describe motivation for slugging and how these motives differ between driver and slug. A few of the motives described are gas savings, decrease in travel time, environmental benefits, and flexibility.

I think we should add a section that describes how slugging is perceived by relevant social groups. I think this will be useful both for this chapter, but also for the presentation. I will add "Perception" as a major topic with the different subgroups as subtopics - if you all can think of a better way to incorporate this more smoothly, feel free to suggest/change.

Why is there a picture of the Beltway? The Beltway doesn't have any HOV lanes. Fehringer (discuss • contribs) 21:43, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
