Abstract
The station car concept is an exciting new form of mobility. Station cars are electric vehicles (EVs) driven to and from mass transit stations by transit riders. They are an extension of mass transit, providing the same instant-yet more convenient-mobility as conventional vehicles. While away from the station, they can be used for any type of short trip. When fully implemented after the turn of the century, station cars will become a mobility system-as ubiquitous as a utility-changing the transportation paradigm of many metro area households. Each mobility system will be designed to support the specific transportation needs of each community
