Causal effects of transit investment on neighborhoods
Americans meet congestion pricing
This paper examines how equity claims were mobilized in the public debate over New York City’s Central Business District Tolling Program (CBDTP). We analyze approximately 8300 public comments submitted during the environmental review and use large language models (LLMs) for stance/equity classification followed by structural topic modeling to surface latent themes. Proponents’ equity arguments clustered around a compact set of frames: drivers pay…
Standards of fairness in the transportation literature
Facing the future of transit ridership
Public transport access to drug treatment before and during Covid-19
The Importance of Institutional Capacity and Negotiation Capacity in Affordable Housing Agreements
New legislation was introduced in 2018 in Victoria, Australia to encourage the negotiation of affordable housing agreements. This change resulted in the expansion of formal and informal mechanisms for cross-sectoral affordable housing delivery. In this paper we draw on 20 interviews with housing stakeholders, focusing on the process of negotiation. We propose a novel theoretical framework to interpret capacity for collective action in a loosely r…
Riders Who Avoided Public Transit During Covid-19
Millions of North Americans stopped riding public transit in response to COVID-19. We treat this crisis as a natural experiment to illustrate the importance of public transit in riders’ abilities to access essential destinations. We measured the impacts of riders forgoing transit through a survey of transportation barriers completed by more than 4,000 transit riders in Toronto and Vancouver (Canada). We used Heckman selection models to predict si…
“Ambiguous, Confusing, and Not Delivering Enough Housing”
Problem, research strategy, and findings Responsibility for affordable housing delivery is increasingly being delivered through collaborations between private, nonprofit, and state actors and operationalized through voluntary negotiations. Negotiation theory provides a lens for understanding why outcomes are often limited by highlighting the impact of stakeholder interests, the potential for mutual gains, trust between negotiating partners, and a…
Evaluating the equity implications of ridehailing through a multi-modal accessibility framework
Examining building age, rental housing and price filtering for affordability in Melbourne, Australia
Governments worldwide have responded to housing affordability challenges with supply-side solutions. Proponents of these approaches often draw on the notion of ‘filtering effects’ to argue that new supply naturally trickles down to lower-income households over time, improving affordability. This study examines the characteristics of Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing in Melbourne, Australia, analysing how dwelling age impacts rental cost. We …
Are we keeping up? Accessibility, equity and air quality in regional planning
A social equity lens on bus bridging and ride-hailing responses to unplanned subway disruptions
Housing need assessments in San Francisco, Vancouver, and Melbourne
Governments in much of the Global North have responded to dramatic increases in house prices and rents by setting supply-side targets for new housing in regional and local plans, based on calculations of need. We apply social constructionism to assess widely divergent needs assessments underlying housing strategies in San Francisco, US; Vancouver, Canada; and Melbourne, Australia. In San Francisco, authorities use an approach required by the stat…
