N2  - The Chicago Transit Authority is reviewing existing West Corridor rail services. A spreadsheet version of the Chicago Area Transportation Study's mode choice model was developed for the project to estimate the impact of service revisions on ridership. Ridership calculations are carried out for Chicago community areas, a level of detail that permits the model to be implemented within a reasonably sized spreadsheet. The spreadsheet's organization is discussed, and procedures to estimate inputs to the mode choice model--access and the line-haul characteristics faced by riders--are outlined. This approach is critiqued and contrasted with conventional network-based travel demand models.
