The number of <br /> draw area residents employed in Minneapolis is compared with number of Northstar riders <br /> identified in the user origin survey. In calculating ridership market share, each station's draw <br /> area was limited to the area north of the Mississippi River to be consistent with the residential <br /> market analysis, which did not extend south of the river. Those riders from south of the river are <br /> included as inflow riders along with those living outside the draw area. Inflow riders are <br /> assumed to also be primarily destined to Minneapolis. <br /> Table 2-2 <br /> NORTHSTAR RIDERS AND STATION DRAW AREAS RESIDENTS WORKING IN MINNEAPOLIS;2010 <br /> Draw Area <br /> Big Lake Elk River Ramsey Anoka Coon Rapids Fridley <br /> Station Station Station Station Station Station <br /> Work in Minneapolis 514 1,206 2,779 5,990 8,828 3,384 <br /> Ride to Minneapolis 155 240 87 190 165 22 <br /> Employee Market Share 30.2 % 19.9 % 3.1 % 3.2 % 1.9 % 0.7 % <br /> Draw Area Rider Percent 73.1 % 83.3 % 67.4 % 89.2 % 83.8 % 64.7 % <br /> Inflow Riders 57 48 42 23 32 12 <br /> Percent 26.9 % 16.7 % 32.6 % 10.8 % 16.2 % 35.3 % <br /> Total Riders 212 288 129 213 197 34 <br /> Source: McComb Group,Ltd.and MetroTransit. <br /> The Big Lake Station Draw Area includes Big Lake and Becker and had 514 residents employed <br /> in Minneapolis and an estimated 155 rode the Northstar for a market share of 30.2 percent. <br /> Inflow riders from outside the draw area and south of the Mississippi River represented 26.9 <br /> percent or 57 riders including 31 from south of the Mississippi River.
