Bike and Pedestrian Studies Neighborhood Design and Walking Trips in Ten U.S. Metropolitan Areas Authors: Boer, Rob; Zheng, Yuhui; Overton, Adrian; Ridgeway, Gregory K; Cohen, Deborah A American Journal of Preventive Medicine Issue: 4 4/1/2007 Abstract: Despite substantial evidence for neighborhood characteristics correlating with walking, there has been to date only limited attention paid to possible practical implications for neighborhood design. This study investigates to what extent design guidelines are likely to stimulate walking. Four of the New Urbanism Smart Scorecard criteria and 2 other measures were tested for their influence on walking. Data was obtained from the 1995 National Personal Transportation Survey, U.S. Census 2000, and InfoUSA. Propensity-score methodology was used to control for potential confounders. Higher levels of business diversity and higher percentages of 4-way intersections were associated with more walking. For example, the odds ratio (OR) for walking in a neighborhood with 4 business types present compared to 3 business types was 1.24 (confidence interval [CI] 1.07 & 1.44) and neighborhoods with 50 & 74%, 4-way intersections had an OR for walking of 1.4 (CI 1.09 & 1.78) relative to those with 25 & 49%, 4-way intersections. The effects of housing density on walking are mixed. Higher parking pressure and older median housing age did not significantly affect walking after covariate adjustment. Block length did not appear to be associated with walking. When considering the New Urbanism Smart Scorecard from the perspective of walking, some, but not all, of its criteria that appear to have a correlation with walking are likely to be useful for designing walkable communities.

Demographic Trends Demographics Matter: Travel Demand, Options, and Characteristics Among Minority Populations Authors: Contrino, Heather; McGuckin, Nancy Public Works Management & Policy Issue: 4 4/1/2009 Abstract: Race and ethnicity are important in terms of travel choices, needs, and options. Many factors contribute to the differences in patterns of travel within population segments. This paper uses data from the US Census Bureau and the National Household Travel Survey Program to examine the demographic characteristics of minority populations and the resulting differences in their travel behavior. As the U.S. society becomes more diverse over the next few decades, a significant portion of growth in travel demand will come from minority populations. Minorities on average are more transit dependent, have higher automobile occupancies, and have lower levels of vehicle ownership. Factors such as these should be considered when forecasting travel demand and developing policy and planning initiatives.
