abstract: 'Transportation affordability refers to people''s financial ability to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
access important goods and activities such as work, education, medical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
care, basic shopping, and socializing. Making transportation more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
affordable can produce considerable socioeconomic benefits by lowering
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the costs and boosting mobility for people who are more disadvantaged.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
More affordable transportation is equivalent to higher income. There are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
many factors to consider when evaluating transportation affordability,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
including housing affordability; land use factors that affect
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
accessibility; the quantity, quality, and pricing of mobility options;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and individuals'' mobility needs and abilities. Traditional
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
transportation planning takes hardly any transportation affordability
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
considerations into account. Greater emphasis on this field would shed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
more light on affordability effects and help policy makers to identify
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
more affordable transportation solutions. However, to take
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
transportation affordability into account, there should be practical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ways of evaluating it. This paper investigates the concept of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
transportation affordability and suggests a metric for its measurement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The metric calculates affordability on the basis of the trade-offs that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
households make between transportation and housing costs. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
transportation costs considered include car ownership, car use, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
public transport costs. The suggested approach can be applied to any
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
spatial zone (e.g., neighborhood or other) to reflect the average
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
expenditure that households are willing to make to satisfy their basic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
travel needs.'
