Heterogeneous effects of neighborhood type on commute mode choice: An exploration of residential dissonance in the Twin Cities
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4403-9762
Abstract Many studies have measured residential and travel preferences to address residential self-selection and they often focused on the average or independent effect of the built environment on travel behavior. However, individuals' behavioral responses to built environment interventions may vary by their different tastes. Using the 2011 data from the Minneapolis–St. Paul metropolitan area, this study examines the influences of neighborhood type, travel attitudes, and their interaction terms on commute mode choice. The interactions between neighborhood type and travel attitudes have no significant impact on driving commute frequency whereas the effects of neighborhood type on the propensity for transit commute differ by transit preference. Specifically, urban consonants (including those in LRT neighborhoods) have the highest propensity for transit commute, followed by suburban dissonants, urban dissonants, and then suburban consonants. Therefore, individuals' heterogeneous responses to built environment elements should be taken into account in future research and in the design of land use and transportation policies aiming to shape urban travel.
Highlights The interaction between neighborhood type and travel attitudes on commute frequencies is examined. The impact of neighborhood type on driving frequency is independent of travel attitudes. The impact of neighborhood type on transit frequency depends on the level of travel attitudes. Urban consonants use transit the most, followed by suburban dissonants, urban dissonants, and suburban consonants.
