Land Use and Travel Behavior: Empirical Evidence of the Effects of Mixed-Use Development on Travel Mode Choice in Chicago
This study empirically investigates the influence of land use on travel mode choice in the Chicago metropolitan area. First, the authors examine if an association between the selected measurements and mode choice exist. The land use variables considered in this study include variables such as mixed-use development, transit accessibility, population, and employment densities. To control for non-spuriousness, several commonly used attitudinal and socio- demographic variables including income and ratio of number of vehicles per number of workers in the household are included in the models. The effects are analyzed for home-based work (HBW) trips only, using a mixed logit framework. The objective is to examine and provide further empirical evidence on how land use, specifically mixed-use development, influences mode choice, and to identify the existing interactions.
