Impacts of the Built Environment on Cycling Mode Share and Subsequent Greenhouse Gas Reductions
… individuals to adopt cycling as their main mode of transportation - the City of Victoria opened its first protected bi-directional bicycle lane connecting the Johnson Street Bridge to Cook Street by means of Pandora Avenue (Egan-Elliott, 2019). This marked the first step in the creation of …

Airport access via rail transit : what works and what doesn't
… of airport rail links most strongly influence mode share so that future rail link plans can be assessed. These findings are then applied to the current plans for an airport rail link in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The thesis begins by examining current airport rail links in the U.S. Detailed case …

Measuring Accessibility and Explaining Trends in Commute Mode Choice in Washington, D.C. from 1970 - 2000
… attempts to find a correlation between commuting modes in Washington DC and characteristics of the city and the people that they serve. It investigates why some census tracts have experienced increases in the commuting share of alternative transportation, such as public transit, walking, and …

A Multidimensional Study of Transit Ridership and Station Mode Shares in the United States: Nonlinear Effects, Data Aggregation, and Post-Pandemic Changes
… key predictors of ridership across transit modes at the regional level, offers valuable insights for policy efforts. Specifically, the dissertation comprises three studies that analyze BE-travel behavior associations and data aggregation effects locally, as well as variations in key …

Cyclists' rights to the city: The realisation of cyclists' rights in the city of Johannesburg
… same level of importance as planning for other modes of transport. However, having a right to city is, to a large extent, controlled by those who plan and shape the city. For this reason, the research places planning at the centre of the process, and unpacks the role of transport planners in …

An Integrated Interregional Input -Output and Transportation Network Model for Assessing Economic Impacts of Unexpected Events
A model of interregional commodity flows, incorporating regional input-output relationships, and the corresponding transportation network flows is formulated and implemented for assessing the economic impacts from an unexpected event. The Integrated Commodity Flow Model (ICFM) integrates a …

Behavioral Responses to Congestion Pricing in New York City: Mode Shift, Preference Change, and Effect Persistence
… underlying preference shifts from observed mode share changes in response to the toll. Stage 1 estimates population-level travel sensitivities to cost and time, while Stage 2 uses a hierarchical structure to capture heterogeneity across demographic segments defined by income, age, and …

Utilizing automatically collected data to infer travel behavior : a case study of the East London Line extension
… time, journey distance, public transportation mode share, and access distance by comparing journeys made before and after the introduction of the extended ELL.

Intervening in the trip to work. A system dynamics approach to commuting and public health
Background: Car use is the dominant mode of transport in short, habitual journeys to work in many cities, including Auckland. It allows access to a range of employment and training while enabling families to manage other responsibilities. However, car dependent commuting has significant negative …

Street typology and bicyclist safety : a systems approach
Cycling is an attractive transportation mode but has not attained a large mode share in the United States, in part because it is correctly perceived as dangerous. Much literature on cyclist safety and the built environment has focused on bicycle facilities such as bike lanes, while fewer studies …

Drive-access transit : a regional analytical framework
… significance in terms of total ridership, mode share, and drive-access transit facilities' utilization rates. A sub-mode choice model and a station choice model are developed for both rapid transit and commuter rail drive-access transit users. These models depend on the CTPS Emme/2 network …

A New Procedure for Scoring Rail Transit Connections to U.S. Airports
… frequency. The 3 market factors are rail transit mode share, business traveler percentage, and low-cost carrier percentage. A scoring system was then developed and each airport's characteristics were inputted. The airports were scored using three different methods and were subsequently evaluated …

Multiclass intermodal network model : the use of combined model on system evaluations
… of the standpoint of individual transportation modes and local government involvement. Therefore, there has been an increased focus on the development of intermodal transportation. Integrating the modes and using each of them to its best advantage are strategies to optimize the existing …

Incorporating livability benefits into the Federal Transit Administration New Starts project evaluation process through accessibility-based modeling
… of transit projects through accessibility-based modeling. It is argued in this thesis that accessibility to essential services, such as employment, education, health care, and recreation, is a key component of livability. Furthermore, the concept of accessibility is both understandable and can be …

Understanding the evolution of transportation pricing and commuting at MIT : a study of historical commuting data
… might best explain any observed change in mode choice over this period. The findings of these analyses provide a benchmark against which to evaluate the effects of the new commuter benefits program in a future study. This research finds that, from 2004 to 2014, there are significant shifts …

New incentives to change modes : an experimental design to reduce single-occupant vehicle commuting in Kendall Square
… commuter benefits and their expected effects on mode share for large employers in an urban environment. Using financial and social "nudges" to promote behavior change, the recommended incentives include an expanded universal transit pass, parking cash-out, daily parking charges, Walk or Bike to …

Network-Level Safety Prediction Models for Long-range Transportation Planning
… research enhances the regional transportation model (RTM) framework by incorporating a network-based collision prediction model (NCPM) as a fifth step in the traditional four-step RTM modelling structure, allowing the model to predict the number of collisions on major and local roads at the …
