Transit agencies in multiple countries have started piloting the integration of new mobility technologies (NMTs) into their transit services. This article reviews emerging evidence from NMT-based pilots to identify social equity impacts NMT–transit integration. We focus on ride-hailing, on-demand transit, microtransit, and active travel NMTs like dockless bike share. find that three these potential improve systems, but we note most agency do not explicitly measure impacts. offer...

The availability of ridehailing services, such as Uber and Lyft, affects the way people choose to travel can enable opportunities that were previously suppressed, leading additional trips. Previous studies have investigated modal substitution induced caused by ridehailing, yet few factors associated with these behaviors. Accordingly, this study examines personal trip characteristics users’ decisions substitute other modes or conduct new trips ridehailing. Using detailed survey data collected...

Key Messages It remains unclear whether the arrival of ride‐hailing is detrimental to congestion. Despite being slightly cheaper than taxis, services remain significantly more expensive transit and provide mobility only those who can afford them. The regulatory framework for should resemble that taxi industry, but also be supplemented by concessions encourage companies explore sustainable endeavours.

Convenience and low prices have enabled ride-hailing companies, such as Uber Lyft, to position themselves amongst the most valuable companies within transportation sector. They now account for lion share of activities in platform economy play an increasing role our cities. Despite this, very little is known about type people that use them, nor purpose timing trips. In addition their effect on other modes, taxis public transit, remains, part, widely unexplored. By comparing socioeconomic trip...

Claiming that ride-hailing companies have disrupted the transportation sector is an understatement. The ability and vision of companies, such as Uber Lyft, to harness smartphones’ built-in GPS technologies, provide real-time information about wait times, facilitate cashless transactions has enabled them effectively compete with taxi industry, potentially capture a sizeable share ridership other modes well. RH services are now increasingly being recognized accepted service within cities,...

Many municipalities are investing in cycling infrastructure; these efforts increase safety and comfort, typically occur central neighborhoods as they have a higher proportion of cyclists. However, targeting investments with strong latent demand for cycling, regardless their current mode share, may also adoption. Accordingly, the aim this paper is to identify areas that present highest potential uptake. To end, we use data from most recent 2016 Transportation Tomorrow Survey Toronto conduct...

We examine the wait-time of Uber’s wheelchair accessible service (UberWAV) in Toronto, to determine whether it meets City’s 11-minutes average requirement. Using a 12-million record dataset every ride-hailing trip conducted Toronto between September 2016 and March 2017, we show that wait-times for UberWAV services were, on average, longer during rush hour periods trips further away from downtown. Despite this, find met requirement imposed by City believe offering shorter than previously...

During the earlier stages of COVID-19 pandemic, numerous studies used bicycle count data to understand pandemic’s impact on urban cycling. However, given context and timeliness such studies, correcting for periods missing ensuring accuracy were not always possible. In this paper, we examine quality data, using Montreal as a case study, propose methodological improvements. By employing value imputation technique excluding sensors potentially affected by exogenous factors, hope provide cities...

Given that most environmental regulation is performed on the international and national scale municipal powers are often limited, what necessary conditions for local government to take leadership policy innovation in this space? The transportation-for-hire industry provides an interesting case study as municipalities around world recently updated their regulatory frameworks because of disruption caused by advent ridehailing. Over time, learning resulted convergence major components,...
