Light rail transit (LRT) is increasingly accompanied by overlay zoning which specifies the density and type of future development to encourage landscapes conducive use. Neighbourhood (based on land use mix) used partition data investigate how pre-existing use, treatment with a park-and-ride (PAR) versus walk-and-ride (WAR) station interrelate. Hedonic models estimate capitalisation effects LRT-related accessibility single-family houses condos in different neighbourhoods for system...
Many cities include minimum parking requirements in their zoning codes and provide ample for public use. However, is costly to encourages automobile use, according many site-specific studies. At the city scale, higher use linked traffic congestion, environmental degradation, negative health safety impacts, but there a lack of compelling, consolidated evidence that large-scale increases cause rise. In this study, Bradford Hill criteria, adopted from field epidemiology, were applied determine...
Vehicle ownership is a significant cost to households, but Black households are more likely be burdened than White households. Previous assessments of transportation spending between races did not differentiate by vehicle status, depressing overall which three times as have access car and, thus, spend comparatively little on transportation. When these experiences isolated, 76% with vehicles compared 60% allocate their total average annual regardless income, and disparities in burden present...
The lens of sustainability refocuses the perception transportation and allows a look beyond its accustomed role providing vehicular mobility to broader impacts on environment, society, economy. As understanding transportation's function evolves throughput capacity, can be used as an organizing principle for planning promote livable communities. To fully understand integrate ideas with transportation, proper metrics performance measures need developed adopted. This study demonstrated how...
For-hire vehicle trips in the five boroughs of New York City from 2014 to 2017 increased by 82 million annually (46%). This paper describes how factor analysis and cluster were used create a typology that was applied quantify usage patterns have evolved different types neighborhood. Having surged 40-fold, ridesourcing originating outer now constitute 56% overall market. Many borough neighborhoods which originated are home minority, relatively low-income populations with low car ownership...
AbstractIn this study, we investigate the effect of planned or operating wind turbines on urban home values. Previous studies, which largely produced non-significant findings, focused rural settings. We analyzed more than 122,000 sales, between 1998 and 2012, that occurred near 41 in densely populated Massachusetts communities. Although found effects from various negative features (such as electricity transmission lines) positive open space) generally accorded with previous no net due to...
In most developed countries, the total number of road fatalities peaked in 1970s. Although data for show a distinctive downward trend, secondary signal that is more cyclical nature also evident. These variations closely track macroeconomic conditions (usually represented by unemployment rate) and gasoline prices. While relationship between transportation safety prices has been investigated, studies have looked at these variables isolation from other important factors affect traffic safety....
Our work exploring preferences of Denver metropolitan area households in deciding where to live provides important insights for regions seeking leverage investments transit and promote social equity through transit-oriented communities (TOC). Through a choice-based approach, we find evidence widespread support characteristics TOC, with similar transit- pedestrian-accessible environments among low-income more affluent households. However, despite preferences, that moved station areas after...
There is a growing interest in developing reliable and meaningful composite indexes of transportation sustainability. Several such have been developed, but none used for comparing countries. This paper introduces cost-oriented national sustainability index (NTSI) uses it to compare the performance United States with 27 selected European countries years 2005 2011. A series panel data models then investigate relationship between human capital, macroeconomic social factors, The results showed...
Most U.S. cities specify minimum parking requirements in local zoning codes, even areas served by a variety of travel options. Little work has been done to understand how aggregate supplies compare with urban or evaluate the potential impacts met such places. The research reported here tracked changes and built environment six business districts between 1960 2000. also summarized each city compared those actual supplies. This demonstrated that could be only through combination costly...
Vision Zero has been increasingly embraced by jurisdictions across the United States. Existing research primarily focuses on theoretical principles and effectiveness of specific engineering measures. However, there is limited understanding holistic effects treatments, in context street type urban environment. We developed a typology framework to categorize segments using four design operational features: width, traffic direction (one- versus two-way), number travel lanes, presence on-street...
Motivated by a need to engage students in the critical evaluation of visual information, and desire teach how use digital technologies as way exploring expressing geographical constructs processes, geography departments at Arizona's three universities sought received funding from Arizona Board Regents for learner-centered curricular development organized around theme "Mediated Geographies." In this paper, we explore pedagogy education strategies were used semester-long documentary photo...
