Factors associated with future transit use intentions
Public transit agencies face challenges in sustaining and rebuilding ridership amid lasting impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, making it crucial to understand who plans to use transit and why. We examine factors associated with intention to use public transit in the next year across Canada (4-point Likert scale) and assess how they vary by metropolitan area size. Using data from the Canadian Mobility Survey (N = 16,955) covering 12 census metrop…
Operationalizing accessibility thresholds
As accessibility becomes integral to transport planning, it is important to identify operational thresholds for evaluating access to essential destinations. Motivated by the operationalization gap between theory and planning practice, we develop a methodology to identify two levels of accessibility thresholds: Perceived Minimum Accessibility (PMA), representing basic access to essential destinations, and Perceived Sufficient Accessibility (PSA), …
Between dispersion and recentring
The COVID-19 pandemic has generated debate over whether changes in work and travel behaviour have resulted in a lasting reconfiguration of residential location preferences. This study examines residential relocation behaviour before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic using a spatial multinomial logit model applied to mobility survey data from the Montréal metropolitan region. The model achieves strong explanatory power and enables assessmen…
Everything has changed
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the transit market leading to ridership loss and service cuts. Most of the post-pandemic transit market literature has focused on how to attract those who stopped using transit services, however little attention has been given to how rider profiles have changed. To address this gap, we examine 2019 and 2022 data regarding transit commuters from Montréal, Canada. We apply factor and k-means cluster …
Does easy mean happy? Exploring the impact of ease of travel on travel satisfaction
Many studies have examined the determinants of travel satisfaction. However, how the perceived ability to travel, i.e., ease of travel (EoT), influences travel satisfaction has not been analysed in a comprehensive way. In this study, we will analyse how EoT, which is comprised of travel motivation, travel skills, travel options and travel quality, impacts satisfaction with travel to campus of 2593 students and staff members of University College …
Perceived accessibility
The integration of accessibility measures into transport planning has become prominent in many regions. However, accessibility evaluation is hampered by not having a comprehensive view on how accessibility is perceived by various population groups and how it impacts their choices given certain transport and land use configurations. Recently, studies have emerged attempting to measure perceived accessibility and understand its determinants and how…
Towards a better understanding of changes in cost per riders for bus routes before and after the Covid-19 pandemic in Montréal, Canada
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the finance of transit agencies by reducing farebox revenues. Combined changes in ridership and service operation levels have further transformed the financial efficiency of public-transit services. Understanding how these changes vary between routes is crucial to inform service optimization processes to reduce transit agencies' operational deficits. Using data from the bus network in Montréal, Canada, …
Evolving transport mode changes
Understanding the impacts of exposure to local and regional accessibility on travel behavior is essential to develop long-term effective land-use and transport policies. Previous research concentrating on accessibility impacts were mostly of cross-sectional nature and were conducted using pre-pandemic data. This study examines the longitudinal relationships between exposure to different levels of local and regional accessibility and mode use, foc…
Zoning In on Transit-Oriented Development
Problem, research strategy, and findings Transit-oriented development (TOD) has been widely encouraged as a strategy to limit urban sprawl, increase urban density, and enhance neighborhood diversity. Federal and regional governments have been increasingly promoting such TOD in parallel with light rail transit (LRT) projects to foster sustainable transitions. Little is known, however, about the processes through which municipalities have made chan…
Studying the Interrelationship between Telecommuting during Covid-19, residential local accessibility, and active travel
Exploring the changes in the interrelation between public transit mode share and accessibility across income groups in major Canadian cities in the post-pandemic era
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the travel behaviour of urban residents in an unprecedented manner, especially public transit (PT) users. PT has experienced a decline in ridership around the world early in the pandemic and has been struggling to rebound again to the pre-pandemic levels, whereas other modes have reached their pre-pandemic levels. PT agencies have been trying to attract users back through service improvements and other policies;…
Sociodemographic matters
The concept of walkability encompasses a multitude of features of the built and social environments that impact walking behavior, leading to the creation of a wide range of walkability indices. While past studies have compared the research outputs from multiple walkability indices, little research has looked at how relevant each index is across sociodemographic groups and how the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and behavior …
Toward Evidence-Based Urban Planning
Literature reviews can play a pivotal role in designing urban policies. Here we introduce two tools used by public health specialists to assess the quality of studies and quantify the evidence derived from them: the Risk of Bias Assessment (RoB) and Evaluation of Certainty of Evidence (ECE). The RoB scores articles on several domains (e.g., selection bias, study design, etc.) to provide an appraisal of how rigorous the study is, whereas the ECE t…
An accessibility-based methodology to prioritize public-transit investments
As governments aim to promote a modal transfer away from motorized vehicles and toward transit, important investments in public-transit systems are becoming necessary. Prioritization of projects targeting underserved communities and careful choices between Fixed Route Transit (FRT) and Demand Responsive Transit (DRT) is therefore crucial to maximize benefits from investments. In this study, we develop a methodology to target and identify policy i…
Resolving the accessibility dilemma
There is a lack of agreement regarding the theoretical framework that practitioners should use for accessibility assessment – a measure of transport and land-use systems performance. Cumulative measures are simple and easy to interpret, while gravity-based measures are more sophisticated, resourceful, and less intuitive approaches. As such, this study aims to investigate whether the estimates of a simple cumulative opportunity measure are signifi…
Accessibility by public transport for older adults
All ridership is local
Research on accessibility, a measure of ease of reaching potential opportunities, has advanced significantly, but the adoption of these measures by public transport agencies has lagged. One explanation may be that research has been conducted at different spatial scales from the stop level typically used by agencies. To address this gap, this study examines the relationship between accessibility to jobs and average daily bus boardings at the bus-s…

Evaluating equity and accessibility to jobs by public transport across Canada
Accessibility, or the ease of reaching destinations, is increasingly being used and examined in both literature and practice. The most common accessibility metric, the cumulative opportunity measure, is often computed as the number of jobs that can be reached within a certain time frame. Aggregating all jobs, however, often inflates the opportunities that can be reached by socially vulnerable residents, which could feed into and/or generate inade…
