Abstract

The onset of the global Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020 brought many transportation systems in North America to a standstill. As life returned to normal, various modes of transportation exhibited differing rates of recovery, with disparities across regions. Limited research has delved into the regional variations in the recovery of these modes of transit over the past years. Such analysis is crucial for gaining insights into urban recovery and resilience, as well as understanding the factors influencing such recovery. In this work, we investigate the usage recovery of taxis, ride-hailing services, and subway ridership following the Covid-19 pandemic. We focus on New York City as our case study, employing clustering techniques to identify neighborhoods with similar recovery patterns. Furthermore, we examine the socio-economic, demographic, and built-environment factors contributing to regional variations in this recovery. Our research findings reveal that different modes of transportation responded differently to the pandemic, and these responses exhibited regional disparities. These findings hold significance for future health-related emergency response strategies and the regulation of existing transportation infrastructure.

驾驭大流行后的城市景观：交通恢复方面的差异和纽约市的地区见解

2020 年初，Covid-19 大流行病在全球范围内爆发，导致北美许多交通系统陷入瘫痪。随着生活恢复正常，各种交通方式表现出不同的恢复速度，各地区之间也存在差异。在过去几年中，对这些交通方式恢复情况的地区差异进行的研究十分有限。这种分析对于深入了解城市恢复和复原能力以及理解影响这种恢复的因素至关重要。在这项工作中，我们调查了 Covid-19 大流行后出租车、叫车服务和地铁乘客的使用恢复情况。我们以纽约市为案例，采用聚类技术来识别具有相似恢复模式的街区。此外，我们还研究了导致地区恢复差异的社会经济、人口和建筑环境因素。我们的研究结果表明，不同的交通方式对大流行病做出了不同的反应，这些反应表现出地区差异。这些发现对未来与健康相关的应急策略和现有交通基础设施的监管具有重要意义。
