Reducing Subway Crowding: Analysis of an Off-Peak Discount Experiment in Hong Kong [PDF]
, 2019 Increases in ridership are outpacing capacity expansions in several transit systems. By shifting their focus to demand management, agencies can instead influence how customers use the system and get more out of their present capacity.

Assessing the Employee Welfare Impact of Right‐To‐Work Laws: Insights From State‐Level Legislation
Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine the effect of right‐to‐work (RTW) laws on employee welfare using the stacked difference‐in‐differences (DiD) methodology. We posit that RTW laws weaken collective bargaining power, increase free riding, and ultimately reduce employee welfare. We document a significant employee welfare decline following RTW adoption, especially among

Node, place, ridership, and time model for rail-transit stations: a case study
Scientific Reports, 2022 AbstractNowadays, Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) plays a vital role for public transport planners in developing potential city facilities. Knowing the necessity of this concept indicates that TOD effective parameters such as network accessibility (node value) and station-area land use (place value) should be considered in city development projects.

Direct Ridership Model of Rail Rapid Transit Systems in Canada
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2015 A direct ridership model for Canadian rail rapid transit systems is presented. The goal of the study was to produce a ridership model to evaluate the specific context of Canadian rapid transit: no comprehensive model existed. Data were collected for Canada's five largest cities, including 342 stations with an average weekday ridership of more than 3 ...

When Infrastructure Pushes Residents Out: High‐Speed Rail and Tourism Outflows
Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of high‐speed rail (HSR) connectivity on both inbound and outbound tourism inflows. Leveraging the opening of a new HSR line connecting a northern Spanish region with mainland Spain, we employ a triple difference‐in‐differences design combined with inverse probability weighting (IPW) to evaluate the causal effect

Investigating impacts of environmental factors on the cycling behavior of bicycle-sharing users [PDF]
, 2017 As it is widely accepted, cycling tends to produce health benefits and reduce air pollution. Policymakers encourage people to use bikes by improving cycling facilities as well as developing bicycle-sharing systems (BSS). It is increasingly interesting to

Green Subsidies and the Promotion of Eco‐Social Policy in Germany and the United States
Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The climate crisis poses an acute threat to humanity. Eco‐social policy can help mitigate this threat, but eco‐social policy and the green transition are expensive. Our paper contributes to a better understanding of the role that green subsidies play in advancing eco‐social politics and policies.
