• Description:
  This report presents the results of two interrelated projects on transit ridership in the SEPTA region. The first focuses on developing and testing an empirically based theory of transit-dependency using a predictive model of transit mode choice in the Philadelphia region. The second examines station-level shifts in transit use in response to the Covid-19 outbreak in the Philadelphia region and how these correspond with the distribution of transit dependents throughout the region.
