“…Since the 1970s in the Paris metro area, housing and services have been redistributed to the urban periphery and suburban neighborhoods. As a result, there is a significant mismatch between homes and workplaces [12]. Thus, limited transit services in the automobile-oriented suburbs significantly undermine accessibility and mobility of the disadvantaged [9,12].…”

“…As a result, there is a significant mismatch between homes and workplaces [12]. Thus, limited transit services in the automobile-oriented suburbs significantly undermine accessibility and mobility of the disadvantaged [9,12]. A case study covering Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, and Los Angeles has shown a large proportion of low-skilled jobs are in locations where public transit is lacking [13].…”

Access to good public transit for low-socioeconomic communities has been an important concern in transportation planning and urban studies research. In Portland, Oregon, USA, the rapid growth of housing prices and rents in the urban core has caused displacement of lowincome residents to peripheral and suburban neighborhoods where housing is more affordable. Because public transit is generally more limited in the urban periphery and suburbs, there is concern that the low-income suburban residents may have more limited access to Portland's light rail transit service than more affluent residents do. This study examines the relationships between the light rail transit accessibility and socioeconomic status-income, race and ethnicity-in the Portland metro area. Light rail transit accessibility is compared for all income and racial/ethnic groups across four access zones. Multinomial logistic econometric models were used to measure likelihood differences of being located in different access zones between each demographic group. The results show that there is no significant barrier for low-income and racial and ethnic minority residents to access urban rail transit in Portland. The results suggest that despite low-income residents' movement to the suburbs, Portland's urban rail transit system continues to serve all residents by providing cohesive connections between the urban core, periphery and suburbs.

“…Where 𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 in equation 2 is the threshold value, known as the cut-off value. The most common unit to define the threshold value is time (Boisjoly et al, 2020;Deboosere & El-Geneidy, 2018;Desjardins & Drevelle, 2014;Smith et al, 2020;Sun & Fan, 2018), but different variants have also been used, like monetary cost in measuring cumulative accessibility (El-Geneidy et al, 2016).…”

The transport sector aims to address climate change by reducing emissions, and a key to achieving this goal is to increase uptake of sustainable modes such as walking, cycling, and public transport. Therefore, it is important to determine ways to achieve this goal and to build a portfolio of feasible reduction strategies. This study is based in Norway where the government has a clear policy objective to reduce growth in urban car traffic and assimilate future sustainable transport modes. Cycling has therefore gained importance in both policy discussions and programme implementation through providing dedicated infrastructure to increase its modal share. Ways to increase cycling can be plotted at both macro- and microlevels. At the micro-level, road design and improved conditions for cyclists can lead to an increase in cycling. At the macro-level, land-use planning can be one of the tools to promote cycling. We analyse the issue at a macro-level based on an Integrated Methodology for Land Use prognosis within Transportation Models (INMAP) which estimates the mutual eff ects of land-use plans and increased accessibility by e-bike. We assess the extent to which future growth areas, as earmarked by the strategic master plans of the cities of Oslo and Trondheim, coincide with the areas that have a high job accessibility by bicycle and e-bike. Analyses reveal that on the introduction of e-bikes in Oslo, accessibility to jobs in the city centre increases from 20,000–24,000 to over 28,000 jobs. For Trondheim, in terms of spatial expansion of accessibility for jobs, there is an extension of the catchment area from 6 km2 to 18 km2. Based on the findings, this study strongly recommends integrating the impact of e-bikes with land-use planning processes and decisions. Through active land-use management, municipalities and regional development authorities can take informed decisions to steer urban mobility in a more sustainable direction.
