SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Exploratory Advanced Research
(EAR) Program initial stage research on
the topic of Dynamic Ridesharing.
Background: The Exploratory
Advanced Research (EAR) Program was
established to conduct longer term,
higher risk research that will result in
potentially dramatic breakthroughs for
improving the durability, efficiency,
environmental performance,
productivity, and safety of highway and
intermodal transportation systems. To
facilitate identification and assessment
of higher-risk, breakthrough research
topics, the Program conducts literature
reviews, event scanning, and targeted
convening. As part of an assessment of
potential high-risk, breakthrough
research on dynamic ridesharing, the
EAR Program is conducting this
collection of information on behavioral
preferences using focus groups.
As a response to the opening of High
Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes in the
Washington, D.C., metro area in the
mid-1970s, a unique commuting
phenomenon developed, commonly
known as ‘‘slugging.’’ This type of
single-trip dynamic carpooling evolved
from drivers and passengers coming
together to fulfill each party’s needs
(e.g., allowing drivers to meet HOV
requirements and thus use the express
travel lanes while riders receive a free,
potentially faster trip to work).
Academic and entrepreneurial types
alike are looking at ways to facilitate
dynamic ridesharing through
technological means. Some suggestions
for enhancing dynamic ridesharing
include website forums that connect
drivers with riders and Smartphone
applications that would allow drivers
and riders to register and connect with
each other. These efforts build off of the
success of three meeting-place based
dynamic ridesharing systems that exist
in Houston, San Francisco, and
Washington, DC. The three systems
have no formal leadership or
management; rather they have evolved
to fulfill a need for carpools created by
the presence of HOV lanes. These
naturally occurring dynamic ridesharing
systems operate by having drivers and
riders meet at central, easily accessible
locations, such as park-and-ride lots
where they create instantaneous
carpools based on desired destinations.
The sluglines are highly successful and
have existed for a long time (30+ years
in the case of DC.), and they are a
critical component to these robust
dynamic ridesharing systems which
serve thousands of commuters each

Jkt 223001
weekday. Despite their success and
interesting nature, exploring dynamic
ridesharing programs warrant further
evaluation.
Focus group participants will be
recruited based on a number of criteria.
The primary factors are whether
participants have utilized dynamic
carpooling, the frequency of their use
and whether they use dynamic
ridesharing to commute to work.
Participants would not be representing
their place of work, and they would be
asked to participate as members of the
public on their own time outside of
work hours.
Respondents: The Focus Group will
send approximately 108 participants on
a three-city tour (Washington, DC; San
Francisco, CA; and Houston, TX) to
study the informal, dynamic carpooling
systems in each city. The government
expects the contractor to recruit
slugging/casual carpooling participants
in each city.
Frequency: Annually
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: There will be approximately
9 focus groups total (3 in each city);
with each group consisting of 12
participants with a time commitment of
1.5 hours each person. The screening for
potential participants will take
approximately 5 minutes per person.
There will be approximately 108
participants.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: The annual burden for the Focus
Group would be between 162 hours.
The annual burden for screening
participants will be 9 hours.
Annual Total = 171 hours.
