The goal of this study is to develop and apply a new method for assessing social equity impacts distance-based public transit fares. Shifting fare structure can disproportionately favor or penalize different subgroups population based on variations in settlement patterns, travel needs, most importantly, use. According federal law, such disparities must be evaluated by the agency, but area-based techniques identified Federal Transit Authority discrimination fail account distances travelled...
The advent of the autonomous vehicle (AV) will affect not only transportation system, but also future patterns land development. Integrated use and models be critical tools in assessing path forward with this technology. Key questions respect to impacts AVs arise from potential changes sensitivity travel reduced demand for parking. It is an open question whether induce urban sprawl, or spatial economies agglomeration mitigate any reductions time sensitivity. deployment shared fleets would...
SUMMARY This paper presents a critical investigation of reasons for using transit by residents the City Calgary, Canada. Reasons are expressed as functions people's perceptions and attitudes towards service quality attributes.

Smart card fare collection systems for public transit produce a huge quantity of data on daily basis. The ability to follow the use single throughout months gives opportunity measuring loyalty individual service. Then, operators can have quantitative knowledge in their network. However, it is also important know what are factors that influence survival users.
