This book was released on 1991 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent demographic and socio-economic trends are profoundly reshaping the market for urban transit in Canada. This report documents the case studies conducted as part of a study to document critical demographic and socio-economic trends, assess the strategic implications of these trends for the Canadian urban transit industry, and develop feasible strategies which respond to the identified trends. The case studies explored the implications of those trends in five different types of communities: large metropolitan centres (Montreal, Toronto), metropolitan suburbs (Montreal South Shore, Laval, Mississauga), major independent regional cities (Quebec, Winnipeg), smaller regional cities (London), and other small centres (St Catharines). Each case study discusses the community profile, transit operator characteristics, travel and transit market characteristics, and ridership and market share forecasts for 2001 and 2006. The studies provide a common market stratification on which to base the comparison of travel and transit market characteristics for the different communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing levels of auto ownership and use are causing severe social, economic, and environmental problems in virtually all countries in Europe and North America. This book documents the worsening transport crisis and differences among countries in their urban transport and land-use systems. The focus is on public policies to deal with urban transport problems. Through in-depth case studies of eight countries, the book seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of alternative solutions to transport problems, and thus a way out of the transport crisis.
Download or read book Making Public Transport Work written by P.M. Bunting and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2004-03-04 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People have always traveled, but over the last century there has been an unprecedented increase in mobility. Hundreds of millions commute daily between home and work, relying more and more on cars and less on urban and intercity public transport. Faced with environmental concerns and the negative cultural and social effects of urban sprawl, governments and other agencies have attempted to reverse the decline in public transport use. In Making Public Transportation Work P.M. Bunting examines why problems have arisen and how they might be corrected. Bunting shows that transportation providers have failed to identify target customers and have not organized these services efficiently. He demonstrates that public transport providers must address organizational issues and define customer needs and preferences, arguing that customer needs can best be served by private, rather than public, carriers offering door-to-door (rather than station-to-station) transportation. In contrast, public agencies can best support public transportation by addressing not direct delivery of services but such matters as equitable safety and environmental regulation and effective, fair management of roads.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers alternative ways of describing the customers & potential customers of a transit system in order to improve transit planning, marketing, and policy-making. It presents findings of a literature review which examined traditional transit industry attitude surveys and related studies, as well as reports & data produced as part of transportation modelling studies conducted since the late 1950s. Based on the literature review, transit rider typologies are developed. The concluding section discusses the service planning & marketing implications of the information reviewed and makes recommendations related to data collection & analysis and related research issues. The appendix includes a detailed review of various studies that provide alternative approaches to transit customer profiling.

Download or read book Evaluating the Unintended Impacts of Socio economic and Demographic Shifts in Transit Served Neighborhoods on Mode Choice and Equity written by Steven Apell and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today the use of transit-oriented development (TOD) is a common strategy for metropolitan areas endeavoring to advance the sustainable communities strategy. At the same time, urban areas in America are experiencing rising energy prices and new geographies of employment, poverty, and wealth. Furthermore, the Millennial generation, and some Baby boomers are changing their residential preference from the suburbs to the central city. These modifications in the urban economy and residential preferences are likely to intensify competition for housing in the central city. Increased demand for housing generates high rents, which often results in the displacement of low-income, transit-dependent population. Consequently, the effectiveness of transit-oriented development is compromised as new affluent households increase vehicle use for homebased trips. Using 1990 and 2010 census data, this research investigated the unintended consequences of TOD policy on mode choice and equitable accessibility in block groups within one mile radius of rail stations in six metropolitan statistical areas. The research employed geographic information systems (GIS) and multivariate regression to analyze the relationship between socio-economic and demographic change in transit-oriented development and associated effects on mode choice for work commute. The findings reveal that while driving declined between 1990 - 2010, transit use for work commute increased in most metropolitan areas in the study. In addition, transit-oriented developments are associated with a high number of affluent households, college graduates, and White-collar employees, when compared with block groups with no transit-oriented development. However, the percentage of foreign-born residents have increased in transit-oriented development, while the percentage of Black and White population have declined. In addition, block groups within one mile of transit stations show nearly similar levels of transit use and driving when compared block groups within the half mile radius. These findings have significant implications on the long term effectiveness of TOD policy.

Download or read book The Millennial City written by Markus Moos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-04 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millennials have captured our imaginaries in recent years. The conventional wisdom is that this generation of young adults lives in downtown neighbourhoods near cafes, public transit and other amenities. Yet, this depiction is rarely unpacked nor problematized. Despite some commonalities, the Millennial generation is highly diverse and many face housing affordability and labour market constraints. Regardless, as the largest generation following the post-World War II baby boom, Millennials will surely leave their mark on cities. This book assesses the impact of Millennials on cities. It asks how the Millennial generation differs from previous generations in terms of their labour market experiences, housing outcomes, transportation decisions, the opportunities available to them, and the constraints they face. It also explores the urban planning and public policy implications that arise from these generational shifts. This book offers a generational lens that faculty, students and other readers with interest in the fields of urban studies, planning, geography, economic development, demography, or sociology will find useful in interpreting contemporary U.S. and Canadian cities. It also provides guidance to planners and policymakers on how to think about Millennials in their work and make decisions that will allow all generations to thrive.
