How does Regional Air Pollution affect Pedestrian, Car, and Transit Use?
How does Regional Air Pollution affect Pedestrian, Car, and Transit Use?
On days with poor area-wide air quality, pedestrian volumes decreased, automobile traffic volumes increased, and system-wide bus ridership showed no significant change.

Downzoning was used by cities around the world to preserve neighborhood aesthetics & protect property values.

New evidence from Chicago in @findingspress.org ⏬ shows downzoning's effects over several decades:
—Massive drop in housing construction
—Higher home prices
—Increased racial segregation
Downzoning Chicago: How Local Land Use Policy Has Reduced Housing Construction and Reinforced Segregation | Published in Findings
By Yonah Freemark, George Kisiel. Downzonings were used by US cities in the postwar period to preserve neighborhood character. These land-use policies were associated with lower housing supply, higher...

Determinants of Wayfinding and Information Access for Migrants in Tunisia: A Study During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Determinants of Wayfinding and Information Access for Migrants in Tunisia: A Study During the COVID-19 Pandemic
West African migrants in Tunisia face disproportionate transportation barriers during COVID-19. Despite reduced mobility, daily expenses increased 17.5%. Regional origin outweighs education as a predictor of wayfinding and information-access difficulties.

When Are Impedance Choices Irrelevant? Equivalence Conditions for Hansen-Style Access Metrics
When Are Impedance Choices Irrelevant? Equivalence Conditions for Hansen-Style Access Metrics
Accessibility metrics often differ only by impedance. We prove when that choice is irrelevant, derive elasticities on a uniform plane, introduce a discrete decomposition, and give conditions for ranking stability.

Close, but how Close? Understanding Proximity Perceptions of Public Transport Construction Sites
Perceptions of "nearness" to light-rail construction depend on where you are and how you travel. Active and transit users perceive impacts at a smaller distance. Findings help target smarter mitigation.
