Abstract:

There are considerable environmental and public health benefits if people choose to walk, bicycle, or ride transit, instead of drive. As a result, planners and policy-makers are increasingly looking for ways to encourage alternatives to driving. Most mode choice research and practical interventions undertaken to-date have focused on improvements to non-auto infrastructure (e.g., transit services, bike lanes, sidewalks) or making the physical environment more transit-, pedestrian-, and bicycle-friendly (e.g., transit- and pedestrian-oriented design). However, little work has been done on the effects of neighborhood crimes on mode choice. Instinctively, we understand that the threats posed by possible criminal activity in our neighborhoods can play a major role in our mode choice decisions, but so far we have little empirical evidence to support this notion.
