Transportation management measures and the built environment individually exert a significant impact on car commuting, while jointly exhibiting synergistic effects on car commuting. Meanwhile, most of these effects are nonlinear and exhibit different properties in the inner-city and suburbs. In the inner-city, proximity to central development and population densification can reduce automobile commuting. Parking fees and transit allowances enhance these benefits. For suburbs, job densification and mixed development are more effective, but have limited impact on the inner city. This study demonstrated that integrating built environment interventions with management measures enhances policy effectiveness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23277,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part D-transport and Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142416460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Findings are related to experiences from two other carsharing schemes in the area, based on interviews with the operators. The paper concludes that the success of carsharing in suburbs depends on tailoring schemes to the specific material and planning context and integrating them into the local community. Drawing on practice theory, the paper argues that this integration allows residents to change mobility practices.

Results indicated that the threshold effects, where the positive relationship between e-scooter sharing and ridesourcing significantly weakened beyond a certain value, were more pronounced in areas with lower population density, fewer jobs, and fewer young, highly educated population.
