1Improving transport accessibility in Nijmegen
Improving the Waalsprinter service 1. Goals
• Reduce the generalized travel cost of Waalsprinter users.
• Improve the generalized travel costs and reliability of all users of car-only routes.
2Improving transport accessibility in Nijmegen
Improving the Waalsprinter service 2. Current service
• Park & Ride (parking fare = 2 euro/day)
• Bus service connecting the P&R to the city centre and Heyendaal (Waalsprinter)
• Dedicated bus lane direction south
• Service frequency is 10 min in rush hours and 15 min off-peak

3Improving transport accessibility in Nijmegen
Improving the Waalsprinter service 2. Current service
• Transport option only available for non-captive car users.
• Currently, car+Waalsprinter routes have slightly lower generalized travel costs than car-only routes for all origins.
o Generalized travel costs for the routes using the Waalsprinter range from 50 to 60 min, depending on the trip origin (average = 55 min).
o Generalized travel costs for the only-car routes range from 51 to 64 min (average = 61 min).
• The Waalsprinter service is used by travelers coming from origins other than Waalsprong and Bemmel.

Improving the Waalsprinter service 3. Service improvements
• Higher level of comfort in the Park & Ride waiting room
• Higher level of travel comfort on the bus
• Reduce the parking fare (from 2 to 1 euro/day)
• Increase the bus frequency in peak hours to 8 services/h
• Advertising campaign

Improving the Waalsprinter service 4. Target groups
a) Directly:
• 200 travelers per day that are currently using the Waalsprinter service to go/come back to/from the city centre from/to northern origins.
• 200 non-captive car travelers per day who are expected to switch modes and use the Waalsprinter.
b) Indirectly:
• All car travelers using the Waalbrug route to access/leave the city centre from/to the northern origins/destinations (2000-2500 veh/h/direction in rush hours).

Improving the Waalsprinter service 6. Stakeholders’ positions
8Improving transport accessibility in Nijmegen
a) Generalized travel costs
• -7.3% reduction on average for 200 travelers/day who currently use the Waalsprinter service to go/come back to/from all northern origins except Waalsprong and Bemmel.• -16.4% reduction on average for 200 non-captive car travelers per day coming from all northern origins (except Waalsprong and Bemmel) who will switch mode according to our assumptions. • -0.4% reduction on average for users of car-only routes.
