The Potential Impacts of Urban and Transit Planning Scenarios for 2031 on Car Use and Active Transportation in a Metropolitan Area
Land use and transportation scenarios can help evaluate the potential impacts of urban compact or transit-oriented development (TOD). Future scenarios have been based on hypothetical developments or strategic planning but both have rarely been compared. We developed scenarios for an entire metropolitan area (Montreal, Canada) based on current strategic planning documents and contrasted their potential impacts on car use and active transportation …
Traveling by Bus Instead of Car on Urban Major Roads: Safety Benefits for Vehicle Occupants, Pedestrians, and Cyclists
Some studies have estimated fatality and injury rates for bus occupants, but data was aggregated at the country level and made no distinction between bus types. Also, injured pedestrians and cyclists, as a result of bus travel, were overlooked. We compared injury rates for car and city bus occupants on specific urban major roads, as well as the cyclist and pedestrian injuries associated with car and bus travel. We selected ten bus routes along ma…
Regional assessment of exposure to traffic-related air pollution: Impacts of individual mobility and transit investment scenarios
Major urban road characteristics and injured pedestrians: A representative survey of intersections in Montréal, Quebec
Impact Evaluation of a Public Bicycle Share Program on Cycling: A Case Example of Bixi in Montreal, Quebec
Objectives. We examined associations between residential exposure to BIXI (BIcycle-taXI)—a public bicycle share program implemented in Montreal, Quebec, in 2009, which increases accessibility to cycling by making available 5050 bicycles at 405 bicycle docking stations—and likelihood of cycling (BIXI and non-BIXI) in Montreal over the first 2 years of implementation. Methods. Three population-based samples of adults participated in telephone surve…
Bicycle Guidelines and Crash Rates on Cycle Tracks in the United States
Objectives. We studied state-adopted bicycle guidelines to determine whether cycle tracks (physically separated, bicycle-exclusive paths adjacent to sidewalks) were recommended, whether they were built, and their crash rate. Methods. We analyzed and compared US bicycle facility guidelines published between 1972 and 1999. We identified 19 cycle tracks in the United States and collected extensive data on cycle track design, usage, and crash history…

Internal Consistency, Concurrent Validity, and Discriminant Validity of a Measure of Public Support for Policies for Active Living in Transportation (PAL-T) in a Population-based Sample of Adults
Neighborhood Social Inequalities in Road Traffic Injuries: The Influence of Traffic Volume and Road Design
Objectives. We examined the extent to which differential traffic volume and road geometry can explain social inequalities in pedestrian, cyclist, and motor vehicle occupant injuries across wealthy and poor urban areas. Methods. We performed a multilevel observational study of all road users injured over 5 years (n = 19 568) at intersections (n = 17 498) in a large urban area (Island of Montreal, Canada). We considered intersection-level (traffic …
Outdoor Falls in an Urban Context: Winter Weather Impacts and Geographical Variations
Analyse désagrégée des facteurs environnementaux associés au nombre d'enfants blessés par un véhicule à moteur en milieu urbain
Cette recherche vise à décrire le nombre et la distribution géographique des enfants blessés par un véhicule à moteur en milieu urbain, ainsi que l'association avec des facteurs environnementaux reconnus. Elle porte sur 6775 enfants (5 à 17 ans) blessés sur le réseau routier montréalais de 1999 à 2008. Les analyses descriptives démontrent que, dans les arrondissements et municipalités les plus pauvres comme dans les plus riches, environ la moitié…
Understanding the determinants of active transportation to school among children: Evidence of environmental injustice from the Quebec longitudinal study of child development
Making the narrative walk-in-real-time methodology relevant for public health intervention: Towards an integrative approach
Health trends among drug users attending needle exchange programmes in Switzerland (1994–2000)
As a part of an assessment of the Swiss drug harm-reduction policy, cross-sectional surveys were conducted in 1994, 1996 and 2000 among attenders of all needle exchange programmes (NEP) in Switzerland to assess changes in specific aspects of their health related to drug use. Data were gathered in each NEP over one week, using a questionnaire completed partly with an interviewer and partly self administered. The questionnaire covered socio-demogra…
