Mobility Behaviour

Car ownership is one of the key factors affecting travel behaviour and thus also essential in terms of sustainable mobility. This study examines car ownership and how people’s willingness to own a car may change in the future, when considering the effects of public transport, Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and automated vehicles (AVs). Results of two citizen surveys conducted with representative samples (NAV-survey = 2036; NMaaS-survey = 1176) of Finns aged 18–64 are presented. The results show that 39% of respondents would not want or need to own a car if public transport connections were good enough, 58% if the described mobility service was available and 65% if all vehicles in traffic were automated. Hence, car ownership can decrease as a result of the implementation of AVs and MaaS, and higher public transport quality of service. Current mobility behaviour has a strong correlation to car ownership, as respondents who use public transport frequently feel less of a will or need to own a car than others. Generally, women and younger people feel less of a will or need to own a car, but factors such as educational level and residential location seem to have a relatively low effect.

The Individual

The ability to live the life one wants with public transport is one of the key factors of sustainable and inclusive societies. Given the current trend in the transport domain, providing accessible public transport is necessary in order to allow people to participate in their day-to-day activities without using a car. Using survey data obtained from Sweden, this study investigates factors that may have a negative effect on the perceived accessibility of public transportation in major city areas and other areas. Overall, regression analyses show that time and economic resources, organizational and temporal functions, frequent travel by public transport, and geographical context all act as accessibility barriers. These findings highlight the need not only to target increased mobility in urban environments, but also to turn the focus to the citizenry’s perceived accessibility. These findings point to implications for policies, planning and interventions targeted at accessible public transport. Adopting an accessibility-oriented approach to urban development, including the individual perspective, could be a pathway for creating a socially sustainable transport system.

Empirical Perspective

In the context of sustainable mobility policies, carsharing services have gained importance as an alternative to personal vehicles. In an effort to increase the adherence to and use of such services, several studies have explored the key factors that determine use and membership. Although the ease with which individuals can access shared vehicles appears to be a central determinant, few studies have specifically investigated how to measure station and vehicle accessibility. To fill this gap, this study seeks to systematically assess and compare the contribution of different accessibility indicators to modeling carsharing membership rate, using 2016 data from the Montreal carsharing company Communauto and from the Canadian census. Three indicators of accessibility to in-station vehicles are generated: walking only, public transport only, and multimodal accessibility (walking and public transport), considering a variety of travel time thresholds and cost functions. A linear regression model is then generated to assess the contribution of the different indicators to modeling membership rates, while controlling for socio-economic and commuting characteristics. The results show that walking accessibility, within 20 minutes, and public transport accessibility, within 40 minutes, are both key determinants of membership rate and in a complementary manner. The influence of public transport accessibility is positive and highest when walking accessibility is low. The results also demonstrate that the use of a cumulative or weighted-opportunity indicator is equally sound from an empirical perspective. The study is of relevance to researchers and planners wishing to better understand and model the influence of vehicle accessibility.

Regional Policies

Access to social services and infrastructure are key factors that determine the standard of living. The well-being of the population is closely associated with adequate access to these services. The aim of this work is to determine the coverage of the population with social services (education, healthcare, public order and security, communications, and financial services), access to infrastructure (electricity, drinking water, public transport and roads, Internet) and its level of access in the regions of Kyrgyzstan. This paper examines household access to these services by studying the data of the Life in Kyrgyzstan Survey (LIK) for the 2016. The received finding will be useful for policymakers in the implementation of regional policies.

This study revealed the constraints and motivations to using sustainable transportation for daily trips. A total of 384 respondents was selected for this survey, represented the 36 sections of Shah Alam. The reasons provided as barriers to cycling and walking are hot weather, surrounding safety factor, unsatisfactory cycling tracks and poor condition of pedestrian lanes. Among the reasons respondents are not motivated to use public transport are inefficient services and expensive fares. However, the majority stated that the increase in petrol prices and tolls would be key factors to reduce car use and more provision of public transport would encourage them to use public transport.
