Paratransit modes have thus, over the years, tended to fill the void created by the shortcomings of formal systems. Their dominance is however often associated with various setbacks which often militate against achieving sustainable urban mobility in developing countries' towns and cities such as Accra. The quest to develop sustainable urban transport modes has often led to marginalisation and outlawing of paratransit operations in these regions despite their notable contributions to urban mobility. This scoping review presents a deeper understanding of paratransit's role by addressing: its broader scope and meaning; its contribution to first- and last-mile connectivity; how it serves underserved populations; its operational strengths and weaknesses; the extent to which it complements formal transport systems and its general overview in the Ghanaian context. These findings are expected to set the stage for further empirical study of how paratransit can be integrated into formal urban transport systems to achieve sustainable public urban transport in Accra given the failure of previous attempts to implement the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems in the city.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"113 ","pages":"Article 101613"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144771100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Self-collection is a recent but consolidated delivery strategy in the field, allowing customers to autonomously collect parcels from assisted or unassisted dedicated facilities (<em>pick-up points</em> and <em>parcel lockers</em>). However, the success of self-collection depends on the location of such facilities, as this strongly affects customers’ propensity to patronize them. In this context, this paper proposes a mathematical programming model for the optimal location of pick-up points in urban areas. The model seeks to maximize the proportion of customers opting for self-collection to promote this strategy over home delivery. It uses a MultiNomial Logit (MNL) to model customers’ choices. Specifically, in the MNL, parameters reflecting customers’ behaviors are included to represent their preferences for the two strategies. The model is applied to the case of Bologna (northern Italy), and various scenarios are produced by varying parameters. The results demonstrate the relevance of customers’ behavior in affecting decisions and provide numerous managerial insights, thus classifying the proposed model as an effective support tool for the design of self-collection networks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"113 ","pages":"Article 101612"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144763921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Public willingness to pay (WTP) experiments have been introduced to value difficult to monetize policy impacts. This paper investigates how citizens of the Transport Authority Amsterdam value nine social impacts of transport policies through five Public WTP discrete choice experiments. In the experiments, respondents were asked to choose between transport policies, trading of social impacts against a uniform tax increase. We show that participants particularly value that people can reach key facilities within 15 min and assigned a relatively low value to preventing delays. This suggests that citizens prioritize accessibility over mobility. We also observe that participants assign a significant value to all the nine social impacts and identify Public WTP metrics for all the impacts.

In this study, we addressed heterogeneity in how service quality factors influence satisfaction and future use among transit users, using market segmentation approach and survey data collected from 10,547 transit riders in Chicago in 2022. First, we applied a multi-group analysis to assess the statistical significance of heterogeneity in the factors influencing transit satisfaction and loyalty. Subsequently, to translate heterogeneity into actionable policies, we conducted Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA). Findings indicate that individuals with higher incomes and higher education prioritize cleanliness and reliability. For female passengers, enhancing safety measures is crucial, while riders with disabilities would benefit significantly from improvements in service comfort. Furthermore, intersectional analysis demonstrates that accounting for overlapping socio-demographic characteristics reveals a more accurate pattern of heterogeneity than one-dimensional analysis.
