“…Many studies use statistical analysis to develop policies to improve traffic safety, investigate and forecast travel behavior, and pinpoint deficiencies in transportation policy [20,[59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70]. For this study, first, a descriptive statistic was conducted to demonstrate the changes in variables in different scenarios.…”

Using cell phone blocking apps is an effective way to prevent distracted driving. This study used a high-fidelity driving simulator to examine drivers’ behavior while using a cell phone blocking app. Thirty-five participants drove in a simulated network under four scenarios. Participants also completed pre- and post-survey questionnaires. The results support previous investigations regarding interactions with phones while driving. Results showed that drivers deviated from the center of the road, changed lanes significantly more often, and increased their steering velocity when drivers were interacting with a cell phone. The impacts of cell phone blocking apps were similar to the no distraction scenario while driving. This suggests that using cell phone blocking apps is one of the most effective ways to prevent distracted driving. Survey results indicated that only 23% of drivers used cell phone blocking apps before the experiment. However, 88% of the participants had a positive opinion about using these apps and indicated that they would use such apps after the experiment. These findings support the importance of cell phone blocking apps from a policy perspective and highlight the need to educate drivers about distracted driving prevention technologies.

“…Researchers and scholars interested in bikeshare programs frequently concentrate their attention on the demographics of bikeshare customers. In addition to ethnicity, gender and educational attainment (Javid and Sadeghvaziri 2023), aspects such as income are factors that are taking into consideration (Sadeghvaziri et al 2023). Given this, we ask: How does bikeshare usage differ with socio-demographics at Census Tract level in New York City?…”

This study investigates the association between bikeshare program usage and neighborhoods with different socio-demographic information. This study investigated 2023 Citi Bike bikeshare data in New York City. For the analysis, Generalized Linear Regression (GLR) in ArcGIS Pro was used. The results revealed that Citi Bike bikeshare ridership increases in neighborhoods with higher income, more workers, more males, higher density, and lower African American and Hispanic population in New York City.

“…Several demographic factors affect travel behavior, especially biking and walking activities, such as age, gender, education level, income, race, employment status, and household size (35)(36)(37)(38)(39). The following studies focus on the effects of these factors on the use of active transportation.…”

“…Active transportation has become more popular in the United States (U.S.) in recent years (1). Active transportation modes such as bicycling and walking can reduce the negative effects of transportation on the environment and are associated with higher overall physical activity and human health (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7). In recent years, much effort has been made to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution (8)(9)(10)(11).…”

To provide an equitable transportation system for the public, it is vital to fully understand underrepresented populations’ active transportation needs and their challenges. This study is designed to identify the active transportation studies that focus on underrepresented populations, evaluate the quantification approaches used in the literature, and uncover barriers to the use of active transportation among underrepresented populations in the United States. We used PRISMA guidelines to systematically review relevant publications. After screening and reviewing the literature, some 60 articles were included in the review. The most frequent results when reviewing the literature include that active travel and daily transport trips decreased from younger to older age groups; bicycling was more popular among men, White, and individuals with higher education, whereas walking was more popular among women; bike usage was found to be low among minorities, and those with lower incomes. Furthermore, communities with poor accessibility to bike infrastructure had a larger concentration of African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, low-wage employees, individuals with lower education, and older adults.
