Using multi-day, multi-period travel diaries data of 56 days (four waves of twoweek diaries) for 67 individuals in Stockholm, this study aims to examine the effects of out-of-home and in-home constraints (e.g. teleworking, studying at home, doing the laundry, cleaning and taking care of other household member[s]) on individuals' day-today leisure activity participation decisions in four different seasons. This study also aims to explore the effects of various types of working schedules (fixed, shift, partial-and fullflexible) on individuals' decisions to participate in day-to-day leisure activities. A pooled model (56 days) and wave-specific models (14 days in each wave) are estimated by using dynamic ordered Probit models. The effects of various types of working schedules are estimated by using 28 days of two waves' data. The results show that an individual's leisure activity participation decision is significantly influenced by out-of-home work durations but not influenced by in-home constraints, regardless of any seasons. Individuals with shift working hours engage less in day-to-day leisure activities than other workers' types in both spring and summer seasons. The thermal indicator significantly affects individuals' leisure activity participation decisions during the autumn season. Individuals exhibit routine behaviour characterized by repeated decisions in participating in day-to-day leisure activities that can last up to 14 days, regardless of any seasons.

“…At the outset of new service, the early optimistic users might be able to distribute free passes (Abou-Zeid and Fujii 2016), an intervention shown to be associated with satisfactory use of transit. This might also provide an engaging way to keep early users committed to ridership until it becomes habitual, a need cited in past research (Ahmad Termida et al 2016). To maximize their use, good complete streets need good complete communities as well as enthusiastic neighborhood light rail proponents.…”

Residents’ expectations for new rail stops: optimistic neighborhood perceptions relate to subsequent transit ridership

Although complete street policies are proliferating, little is known about how nearby residents perceive and act on their new active transportation opportunities. We survey the same neighborhood residents before and after they receive a new complete street renovation with five new light rail stops. We compare Time-1 expectations to use rail with Time-2 evidence of rail use, based on both self-reported and objective GPS/accelerometer measures of ridership. We examine neighborhood perceptions of four groups, created by combining Time-1 expectations to ride with Time-2 ridership: No expect/no ride, no expect/ride, expect/no ride, and expect/ride. The strongest differences were between the no expect/no ride and expect/ride groups. The riders had more positive expectations for light rail's impact on the neighborhood than non-riders; these broad expectations were more powerfully associated with rail ridership than individual barriers to use, such as time constraints or weather. More positive perceptions of the route to rail stops (pleasantness, traffic safety, and crime safety) were also held by riders. Some of the more positive perceptions helped distinguish between the expect/ride group and the expect/no ride group. These results underscore that increasing positive neighborhood perceptions might help convert expected riders into actual riders. Keywords light rail; ridership; expectations; neighborhood perceptions; perceived walkability; GPS "Complete street" policies and designs give priority to active transportation and transit to allow residents and others to travel without requiring dependence on their cars. Over 900 states and localities in the U.S. have adopted complete street policies (Smart Growth America 2016), but most research to date focuses on the challenges of policy adoption (Moreland-Russell et al. 2013). We know less about how residents view complete street

Weather is fundamentally a perception rather than an objective measure. This study uses data from a four-wave travel diary survey and aims to answer two research questions, i.e. 1. How individuals from different sociodemographic groups perceive weather. 2. How an individual's weather perception affects his/her leisure activity participation decision. A thermal indicator, Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) is used as a synthetic index that represents the thermal environment. Panel static/dynamic ordered Probit model is used to model leisure activity participation. The results show that the reference thermal environment, in general, corresponds to the historical mean of the thermal environment. Moreover, the effect of subjective weather perception on leisure activity participation is non-linear and asymmetric. Only 'very disappointed weather' and 'very satisfied weather' significantly influence leisure activity participation. The intra-individual heterogeneity in the effect of 'very good weather' has a smaller magnitude than that of 'very bad weather'.
