Abstract:This report examines the relationships between the characteristics of transit-oriented development (TOD) and (1) the use of transit and non-motorized modes (walking, cycling, scooting) and (2) local shopping behaviors and behavioral changes during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The team gathered data from 341 respondents via an online survey and through four focus groups with residents from six transit-served areas in New Jersey. Focus groups revealed that TOD residents appreciate transit accessibility for commuting and socializing but face challenges with reliability and security, and some reduced their transit use during COVID-19 due to remote work while appreciating transit access for occasional commuting. Proximity to transit within each study area is weakly associated with usage, but relocations to transit hub areas led to gains in transit use, walking, and local shopping. While high-income TOD residents favored cars, parking constraints encouraged transit use, and TOD residents reported more walking and cycling.
