“…In addition, several authors have analyzed the effect of accessibility on labor supply (see e.g. Hansen, 1959;Banister and Berechman, 2000;Berechman and Paaswell, 2001;Ozbay et al, 2006;Du and Mulley, 2007).…”

This paper analyzes the relationship between freight accessibility and logistics employment in the US. It develops an accessibility measure relevant for logistics companies based on a gravity model. This allows to analyze accessibility of US counties focusing on four different modes of transportation: road, rail, air, and maritime. Using a Partial Least Squares model, these four different freight accessibility measures are combined into two constructs, continental and intercontinental freight accessibility, and related to logistics employment, differentiating counties inside metropolitan areas from those outside. Results show that highly accessible non-metropolitan counties attract more logistics employment than other non-metropolitan counties. In metropolitan counties, no significant relationship was found between freight accessibility and logistics employment. This is primarily explained by the highly significant relations of both freight accessibility and logistics employment with county population.

“…Authors, such as Banister and Berechman (2000), classify those effects as: transportation-related effects, land-use effects, and effects on jobs and business activities. The general explanation for these effects is that transit facilities increase the accessibility to public transportation for the people living nearby, therefore reducing their travel time to other destinations in urban areas.…”

Firm location patterns emerge as a consequence of multiple factors, including firm considerations, labor force availability, market opportunities, and transportation costs. Many of these factors are influenced by changes in accessibility wrought by new transportation infrastructure. In this paper we use spatial statistical techniques and a micro-level data base to evaluate the effects of Madrid's metro line 12 (known as Metrosur) expansion on business location patterns. The case study is the municipality of Alcorcon, which is served by the new metro line since 2003. Specifically, we explore the location patterns by different industry sectors, to evaluate if the new metro line has encouraged the emergence of a "Metrosur spatial economy". Our results indicate that the pattern of economic activity location is related to urban accessibility and that agglomeration, through economies of scale, also plays an important role. The results presented in this paper provide evidence useful to inform efficient transportation, urban, and regional economic planning.

It is well documented that there is a relationship between the high levels of car usage and the failure to charge car users the true costs for driving. One of these costs is the cost of parking, and what is of particular concern is the failure of employers to charge employees this cost. The aim of the paper is to investigate employees' attitudes and potential travel behaviour responses to measures selected to deal with parking in the workplace. A survey of university employees examined their potential responses to removing free car parking spaces, how they would respond to parking cash-out policies and to work place parking charges. The results tend to support related research such as that cash-out schemes are more popular if they are flexible. An analysis of the data examines the impact of a number of variables on the results; differences in responses by gender, age group and income are observed. Twenty eight percent of respondents indicated they would continue to drive to work and a similar number said they would use public transport on some days if a €5 daily charge was applied. In response to a parking cash out scheme, 66% would continue to drive to work. The preferred cash out method was to give up their car parking space on a daily basis.
