Commuter benefits programs: Impacts on mode choice, VMT, and spillover effects
Abstract Using the 2014 Puget Sound Regional Travel Survey, this study investigates how the availability of different types of commuter benefits, such as employer-sponsored parking benefits and transit subsidies, is associated with workers' travel behavior. In addition to examining the effects of commuter benefits on the mode choice and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) of workers' commutes, this study focuses on their spillover effects at both the individual and household levels. The results show that access to commuter parking and transit benefits not only increases the likelihood of workers using the subsidized travel mode to commute but also affects workers' non-commute trips as well as their household members’ travel behavior. This study provides important policy implications by demonstrating that commuter benefits for transit use are more effective in reducing VMT than expected, after accounting for the spillover effects.
Highlights Effects of different types of commuter benefits are examined. Commuter benefits make workers more likely to adopt subsidized travel modes for their commutes. Effects of commuter benefits spill over to workers' non-commute trips. Effects of parking benefits spill over from workers to their working household members. Effects of transit benefits spill over from workers to their non-working household members.
