Contextual Effects of Land Use on Mode Choice for Nonwork Travel: Multilevel Multinomial Logit Modeling Analysis

摘要: Reducing driving is the objective of many transportation policies and programs for purpose abating congestion, pollutions, CO2 emissions. Land use are gaining popularity as a mobility tool to modify travel. Yet whether modifying land will lead changes in travel remains topic debate. Using data from household diary survey Austin, this paper formulates applies multilevel multinomial logit model continue effort identifying role by focusing on its contextual effects mode choice nonwork The results indicate that attributes such access mixed-use activity center sidewalk density exhibits cost influence jointly decisions In areas with better regional pedestrian-friendly environment, raising parking or toll charges likely have greater reducing while transit fare less discourage rides. study suggests demand management programs, example, congestion pricing incentives encouraging alternatives driving, would work more effectively if they coupled initiatives.
