abstract: 'Inequality in transport provision is an area of growing concern among
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
transport professionals, as it results in low-income individuals
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
travelling at lower speeds while covering smaller distances.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Accessibility, the ease of reaching destinations, may hold the key in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
correcting these inequalities through providing a means to evaluate land
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
use and transport interventions. This article examines the relationship
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
between accessibility and commute duration for low-income individuals
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
compared to the higher-income, in three major Canadian metropolitan
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
regions, Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver using separate multilevel
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mixed effects statistical models for car and public transport commuters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Accessibility measures are generated for jobs and workers both at the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
origin (home) and the destination (place of work) to account for the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
impact of competing labor and firms. Our models show that the impacts of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
accessibility on commute duration are present and in many cases stronger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for low-income individuals than for higher income groups. The results
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
suggest that low-income individuals have more to gain (in terms of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reduced commute time) from increased accessibility to low-income jobs at
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the origin and to workers at the destination. Similarly, they also have
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
more to lose from increased accessibility to low-income workers at the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
origin and to low-income jobs at the destination, which are proxies for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increased competition. Policies targeting improvements in accessibility
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to jobs, especially low-income ones, by car and public transport while
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
managing the presence of competition can serve to bridge the inequality
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gap that exists in commuting behavior.'
