This book was released on 2018 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concerns over the mobility of people without private vehicles and the excessive growth of private vehicles have been increasing in recent years. To address such concerns, many cities are making efforts to encourage more transit use among commuters. This research studies what factors can influence transit ridership among commuters, which can help urban planners to improve transit services more efficiently and effectively with a better understanding of the determinants of transit use. I build a cross-sectional regression to study the importance of each independent variable in explaining the interregional variation of the percentage of workers who travel to work by public transit in 472 U.S. urbanized areas. The independent variables reflect both the supply of transit services (population density, total number of workers, transit service frequency, median income level, percentage of single-family housing, age of building stock in urbanized areas) and population characteristics (age, gender, ethnicity, language proficiency, poverty level).

Download or read book Modeling of Transport Demand written by V.A Profillidis and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modeling of Transport Demand explains the mechanisms of transport demand, from analysis to calculation and forecasting. Packed with strategies for forecasting future demand for all transport modes, the book helps readers assess the validity and accuracy of demand forecasts. Forecasting and evaluating transport demand is an essential task of transport professionals and researchers that affects the design, extension, operation, and maintenance of all transport infrastructures. Accurate demand forecasts are necessary for companies and government entities when planning future fleet size, human resource needs, revenues, expenses, and budgets. The operational and planning skills provided in Modeling of Transport Demand help readers solve the problems they face on a daily basis. Modeling of Transport Demand is written for researchers, professionals, undergraduate and graduate students at every stage in their careers, from novice to expert. The book assists those tasked with constructing qualitative models (based on executive judgment, Delphi, scenario writing, survey methods) or quantitative ones (based on statistical, time series, econometric, gravity, artificial neural network, and fuzzy methods) in choosing the most suitable solution for all types of transport applications. Presents the most recent and relevant findings and research - both at theoretical and practical levels - of transport demand Provides a theoretical analysis and formulations that are clearly presented for ease of understanding Covers analysis for all modes of transportation Includes case studies that present the most appropriate formulas and methods for finding solutions and evaluating results
Download or read book Free Public Transit written by Prince Jason Prince and published by Black Rose Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just like we don't pay to use elevators, this book argues that we shouldn't pay to ride public transit. In an age of increasing inequalities and ecological crisis, movements advocating free public transit push us to rethink the status quo and consider urban transit as a fundamental human right. Editors Jason Prince and Judith Dellheim have collected a panorama of case studies from around the world: the United States, Canada, Estonia, Greece, France, Italy, Sweden, Poland, China, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, and more. These movements are spread across the world, and they aim to achieve two main outcomes-ecological good and fair wealth distribution. Free public transit-coupled with increased capacity and improving service of public transit-might well be the only viable strategy to eliminating car usage and achieving greenhouse gas targets in industrialized cities within a reasonable timeframe. Movements for free mass transit also aim to see public transit treated as a public good, like water and garbage service, that should be paid for out of general tax revenues or a fairer regional tax strategy. This book covers the rapidly changing transport options in cities today, including bike and car share options, Uber and Lyft, and the imminent arrival of driver-less vehicles. The first English-language book ever written on the subject, Free Public Transit is a ground breaking book for those concerned about the future of our cities and an essential resource for those who make, or try to change, urban planning and transport policies.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transit ridership is at the heart of transportation policy making and the success of any transit system. Urban planners have been focusing on the need to reduce car dependence and promote more sustainable transportation alternatives. Automobile dependence is a concern for many reasons including congestion in urban areas, pollution, and environmental damages caused by pollution. Switching to more sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation modes such as public transit is likely to be an effective solution to most of these problems. As an alternative to the private car, public transit is an efficient means to move large numbers of people within cities, and transit systems play an important role in combating traffic congestion, reducing carbon emissions, and promoting compact, sustainable urban communities (Taylor et al., 2009). In recent years, the introduction of intelligent transit information systems (ITIS) applications that provide real-time information to transit users created a new hope for increased transit ridership, however, its impact in facilitating increased Transit Usage is not clear yet. This study explores the factors affecting transit ridership including ITIS and selects the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) as a case in a large metropolitan setting for this research. In order to achieve this purpose, the research examines the factors affecting rail, bus, and transit ridership. In addition, this study attempts to fill some of the gaps that exist in the literature by exploring the impact of intelligent transit information systems (ITIS) on transit ridership, and how its availability has affected transit ridership since 2012. The study adopts a monthly time series perspective (2007 to 2017) to enable the researcher to examine changes in transit ridership over a 10-year period and the incremental exposure to ITIS technology. This enables the research to capture any changes in ridership over this 10-year period, few years before to few years after the implementation of ITIS transit applications, in addition to any seasonal changes. Most previous studies of transit ridership have not included ITIS as one of the variables thought to influence transit ridership. Therefore, the disparities among the findings of empirical research completed to date point to the necessity for further study. This study addresses these shortcomings by exploring multiple factors measuring population, technology, geography, and socioeconomic characteristics. This is examined through using Time Series / Multiple Regression methods on the dataset to estimate the relationship between the models' variables to answer the research questions related to demand for transit ridership in the DFW area. In this type of research quite frequently, one is interested in interpreting the effect of a percent change of an independent variable on the dependent variable, which we can achieve through a double-log (log-log) model. As such, the elasticity of demand for transit with respect to some of the factors in the model such as percent change in fare, income or the research question variable, ITIS usage, are explored and policy implications out of these elasticities are discussed. Finally, it has been argued that ITIS reduces negative aspects and cost of using transit through providing information, saving time and other attributes, and makes transit more competitive with the automobile. Therefore, it behooves us to include also some measure of auto ridership in the models. In order to measure the responsiveness of demand for transit to a relative change in the price related to auto usage, we examine cross-price elasticity of demand for transit and how cross-price elasticity of demand could help us in measuring possible shifts from car to transit as an effect of ITIS usage. We think this research provides a significant contribution to transportation planning literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demand for vehicle and public transportation systems continues to increase in and around major urban centers. This increase is especially pronounced during the morning and evening commutes and is further complicated by the complex spatial interactions that influence the variation in system demand. In an effort to help agencies better understand this variability and develop better demand forecasts this research investigated the underlying factors impacting public transportation ridership regardless of transit mode, then uses this insight to estimate specific models to help forecast changes in subway ridership. The spatial database for the case study consisted of social, economic, and land use characteristics for the 2166 census tracts in the five boroughs of New York City, NY. The spatial models were found to have a better overall model fit compared to their non-spatial counterparts. Moreover, spatial dependence was found to be statistically significant in both models. Failure to account for spatial dependence in estimating public transportation use at the census tract or station level could lead to biased, inefficient or inconsistent parameter estimates. The completed research can help public agencies better address resource allocation by identifying locations that are over or underperforming in terms of expected ridership or identifying locations for network expansion.
