Tables 5-5 and 5-6 display ano<strong>the</strong>r detailed examination <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> passenger access and<br />
egress mode data, broken out by station, for April and July, respectively. Mode splits by station<br />
were generally consistent with <strong>the</strong> overall mode split and also reflected <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> available<br />
modes at each station. Tables 5-5 and 5-6 also indicate that <strong>the</strong> percentage <strong>of</strong> passenger pick-up<br />
and drop-<strong>of</strong>f was highest in Oklahoma City. Researchers attributed this finding in part to <strong>the</strong> fact<br />
that <strong>the</strong>re was a charge for parking at <strong>the</strong> Oklahoma City station. Also, a majority <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> parking<br />
around <strong>the</strong> Fort Worth Intermodal Transit Center was pay parking as well. <strong>Passenger</strong>s using<br />
connecting Amtrak services primarily connected with <strong>the</strong>se services in Fort Worth, although<br />
<strong>the</strong>re were a small number <strong>of</strong> passengers that reported using <strong>the</strong> Amtrak thruway bus connection<br />
in Oklahoma City. The relatively high proportion <strong>of</strong> passengers using local transit in Gainesville<br />
is likely an indication <strong>of</strong> passengers who utilized <strong>the</strong> trolley service that connected passengers at<br />
<strong>the</strong> Gainesville station with <strong>the</strong> local outlet mall.<br />
