Determinants of public support for transport taxes

Steffen Kallbekken, Jorge H. Garcia, Kristine Korneliussen

Transportation Research Part A > 2013 > 58 > Complete > 67-78

We argue that different transport taxes can be described in terms of common attributes, establishing a basis for a more comprehensive model of public acceptance. The attributes are perceived effectiveness in reducing local air pollution and congestion, distributional effects, and impact on personal finances. We test a model of public acceptance, which emphasises the role of individual perceptions...

Developing a web-based accessibility calculator prototype for the Greater Montreal Area

Antonio Páez, Md. Moniruzzaman, Pierre-Leo Bourbonnais, Catherine Morency

Transportation Research Part A > 2013 > 58 > Complete > 103-115

A mixture of modes is considered a key element towards sustainable transportation. New technologies that provide information about various modes and environments can help to inform choices regarding travel and accessibility. In this paper we describe the development of a web-based accessibility calculator prototype for the Greater Montreal Area in Canada. The core of this tool is a statistical model...

Economic and emissions impacts of renewable fuel goals for aviation in the US

Niven Winchester, Dominic McConnachie, Christoph Wollersheim, Ian A. Waitz

Transportation Research Part A > 2013 > 58 > Complete > 116-128

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has a goal that one billion gallons of renewable jet fuel is consumed by the US aviation industry each year from 2018. We examine the economic and emissions impacts of this goal using renewable fuel produced from a Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) process from renewable oils. Our approach employs an economy-wide model of economic activity and...

Weather to travel to the beach

Muhammad Sabir, Jos van Ommeren, Piet Rietveld

Transportation Research Part A > 2013 > 58 > Complete > 79-86

Weather conditions have a strong effect on certain leisure destinations choices causing extreme road and parking congestion. An important question is then to what extent travelers react to these forms of congestion by switching to other travel modes. Using information from a national travel survey from 1996 till 2005, we analyze trips from the home to beach destinations in the Netherlands and examine...

Illuminating the unseen in transit use: A framework for examining the effect of attitudes and perceptions on travel behavior

Steven Spears, Douglas Houston, Marlon G. Boarnet

Transportation Research Part A > 2013 > 58 > Complete > 40-53

This study develops the Perception–Intention–Adaptation (PIA) framework to examine the role of attitudes, perceptions, and norms in public transportation ridership. The PIA framework is then applied to understand the relative importance of socio-demographic, built environment, transit service, and socio-psychological factors on public transit use for 279 residents of south Los Angeles, California,...

Analyzing scale independence in jobs-housing and commute efficiency metrics

Michael A. Niedzielski, Mark W. Horner, Ningchuan Xiao

Transportation Research Part A > 2013 > 58 > Complete > 129-143

Understanding journey to work travel patterns remains an important concern for planners and policy-makers from the viewpoint of economic, environmental, and social sustainability. Researchers, keen to inform metropolitan scale planning efforts, have devised ways of benchmarking regional commuting and land use phenomena. The foundation for these benchmarks rests on metrics that quantify the home-job...

A modified model to curb fare evasion and enforce compliance: Empirical evidence and implications

Benedetto Barabino, Sara Salis, Bruno Useli

Transportation Research Part A > 2013 > 58 > Complete > 29-39

Fare evasion is a major problem for transit companies due to lost fare revenues and damage to their corporate images. Therefore, the establishment and proper management of ticket inspection teams deployed to tackle fare dodgers is highly important and represents a severe challenge. In this paper, an existent profit maximization model for estimating the optimum level of inspection has been extended,...

Travelers’ preferences in multimodal networks: Design and results of a comprehensive series of choice experiments

Theo A. Arentze, Eric J.E. Molin

Transportation Research Part A > 2013 > 58 > Complete > 15-28

The modeling of individuals’ choice behavior in integrated multimodal transport networks requires the estimation of preference parameters related to the trade-off between uni-modal trips and multimodal combinations of private and public modes as well as relevant attributes of access, main and access stages of the trip. The stated choice method is a well-established method to estimate travel choice...

Drivers’ acceptance of delay time at different levels of service at signalised intersections

Rong-Chang Jou, Yi-Wen Chen

Transportation Research Part A > 2013 > 58 > Complete > 54-66

This study investigates the willingness of drivers, primarily motorcycle riders and car drivers, to accept delay time for different levels of service at signalised intersections. Videos of different levels of service were pre-recorded and presented to respondents in a survey. A contingent valuation method was employed to design scenarios corresponding to different levels of service. A spike model...

Attitudes towards the role of Cost–Benefit Analysis in the decision-making process for spatial-infrastructure projects: A Dutch case study

Niek Mouter, Jan Anne Annema, Bert van Wee

Transportation Research Part A > 2013 > 58 > Complete > 1-14

This paper provides a systematic overview of the attitudes of key actors in the Dutch Cost–Benefit Analysis (CBA) practice towards the role of CBA in the decision-making process for spatial-infrastructure projects. The main aim of this paper is to scrutinize the extent to which there is agreement among these Dutch actors in regard to the role of the CBA in the decision-making process. A secondary...

Economy-wide impact analysis of a carbon tax on international container shipping

Tsung-Chen Lee, Young-Tae Chang, Paul T.W. Lee

Transportation Research Part A > 2013 > 58 > Complete > 87-102

International shipping is a vital channel linking the world economy, particularly from the perspective of international commodity trade. The recently proposed carbon regulation in international shipping will not only affect the competitiveness of shipping lines, but will also have implications for the global economy. This paper adopts an energy–environmental version of the Global Trade Analysis Project...
