Abstract:

This research examines transit service and the combined effect of access and mobility on the use of sustainable (transit) and active transportation (bicycling and walking). A travel time metric with transit operational data is used to show how these modes interact under a low The relative effectiveness of automobile alternatives (i.e., buses, bicycling, and walking) depends on how well streets are designed to work for these respective modes in terms of safety, comfort and cost, sometimes pitting their relative effectiveness against each other. stress network classification scheme.
