The 20th and 21st joint COTA International Conference of Transportation Professionals (CICTP 2020-21)

Humans are looking for sustainable strategies to reduce the use of automobile. Existing studies have found built environments such as density, diversity, and design have an impact on commute mode. But transportation facilities are one of the specific dimensions of built environment, the studies about the effect of it on mode choice are limited. Using self-administered survey by smartphone apps in Xi’an, we use multinomial logistic regression model to analyze the impact of transportation facilities on resident’s commute mode, including walk, car, bus, subway, bike, e-bike, and shuttlebus. Finally, we find that residents are related to commute by bike when there are shared bikes near living or working locations. And people are related to commute by car and shuttlebus when bike and vehicle lanes are built on different horizontal levels. The results also indicate that with the growth of vehicle lanes, residents tend to commute by bus, subway, or e-bike.
