This study considers a region-to-region macroscopic perspective to discuss the role of road networks in passenger vehicle miles traveled (VMT). The main goal of this study is to quantify the relationship between VMT and region-level road network characteristics as measured by 25 graph-theoretical metrics. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was performed to reduce the dimensionality of graph metrics and to combine highly correlated measures (e.g., node density and edge density) into uncorrelated principal components. PCA generated five graph-related principal components to describe five aspects of road networks: network size, density, connectivity, complexity, and vulnerability. Random-parameter models were built to relate road network graph properties to VMT per capita and VMT per household. All models showed a significant relationship between passenger VMT and road network variables, including original graph metrics and graph-based principal components. Results implied residents in large urban areas travel more than people in small urban areas; a denser road network could reduce VMT; and more dead ends or 3-way intersections can lead to increased VMT in a region. The findings quantify the impact of roadway characteristics on the VMT variation of US urban areas. This study advances the state-of-the-art by conducting a comprehensive regional-level VMT analysis across all urban areas in the U.S. and identifying key roadway network features associated with high or low VMT per capita and per household. The findings provide valuable policy insights for roadway development, including new regional expansions and improvements to existing road networks (e.g., transportation improvement plans), to support urban planning that fosters a low-carbon transportation system.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48378,"journal":{"name":"Transport Policy","volume":"171 ","pages":"Pages 344-358"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144338550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While numerous studies have examined the primary drivers of EV adoption, the role of license plate policies remains underexplored. To address this gap, we collected stated preference data in Beijing, China, during the early phase of EV market penetration in 2017. Utilizing both of multinomial logit (MNL) and mixed logit (MXL) models, we assess the influence of several attributes on consumer vehicle choice, including vehicle price, charging infrastructure density, driving range, recharging time, and waiting time for license plates. Moreover, examining elasticities and conducting a series of scenario simulations provides us with a more thorough analysis of the impact of these attributes. The results indicate that purchase price negatively affects the EV adoption, though medium- and high-income customers exhibit a significant willingness to pay for both EVs and higher-end petrol vehicles (PV). Moreover, extended waiting times for license plates and longer recharging durations significantly reduce the market shares of PV and hybrid vehicles (HV). These findings offer valuable insights for researchers and provide evidence-based guidance for policymakers and industry stakeholders aiming to promote electric mobility. The findings of the study can provide insights for future research and can serve as a reference for policymakers and EV operators to implement appropriate policy incentives to promote electric mobility.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48378,"journal":{"name":"Transport Policy","volume":"171 ","pages":"Pages 542-565"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144572383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its effectiveness in attracting private car users and reducing overall system carbon emissions remains uncertain. In order to investigate the travel mode choice difference of car owner users under the scenario with and without MaaS, this study propose a travel mode choice simulation framework under the presences of vehicle restrictions and congestion pricing. First, in the absence of traffic regulations, we model the travel mode choices of car owners in the scenarios with and without MaaS. The vehicle restrictions and congestion pricing are then modeled in the MaaS scenario. Using this simulation framework and real travel data from Beijing's MaaS platform, we further investigate the effects of user numbers, vehicle restrictions, and congestion pricing on carbon emissions, comparing the outcomes under different traffic regulations in the MaaS. Results indicate that while the adoption of combined travel modes in MaaS scenarios reduces reliance on private cars and ride-hailing services, it simultaneously leads to an increase in system carbon emissions. Therefore, this paper recommends promoting MaaS platforms in conjunction with dynamic vehicle restriction and congestion pricing policies to reduce the use of private cars and ride-hailing services. Moreover, low-carbon travel options are recommended to be prioritized, and green travel incentives is recommended to be implemented for incentivize users toward more environmentally friendly travel choices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48378,"journal":{"name":"Transport Policy","volume":"171 ","pages":"Pages 296-307"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144313797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its point of departure is the sufficiency principle informed by conditions of scarcity for private car use in cities. It focuses on questions of fairness in assigning hypothetical car use budgets for the case of London. Two different budgets are considered, one associated with carbon emission ceilings and another for space constraints. The study that underpins this paper is based on a mixed method approach including a dedicated representative survey for London, a deliberation simulation based on a citizens’ jury with nine participants and a pilot behavioural experiment alongside interviews with a total of 19 London car drivers. Three key findings are established: First, deliberative engagement can be a constructive and feasible approach adding to the general democratic legitimacy of decision making in transport policy. Second, while fairness deliberations, perceptions and sentiments are complex, coherent understandings do emerge for both differential treatments of social groups and priorities of fairness principles. Third, car use budgets may be a helpful tool that can be indirectly utilised for policy design and deliberative formats. While they are generally understood by participants as useful tool to consider implications of limits and distributional questions of driving, they require additional research and testing to refine their role and utility. Alongside, the pilot experiment revealed the utility and feasibility of several methodological approaches, some ready for scaling other requiring further refinement. The use of mobility tracking and the deliberative approach to car use budgeting were confirmed as scalable.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48378,"journal":{"name":"Transport Policy","volume":"171 ","pages":"Pages 615-640"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144588290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The critical findings are shown as below. Firstly, the TMPP exerts a short-term advocating effect on the PTT of residents while fostering long-term diversification in travel modes. However, as the TMPP matures, conventional buses lose their attractiveness, signalling a shift in travelling mode preferences. Secondly, the effectiveness of TMPP is moderated by economic, demographic, and climatic factors. Cities with higher economic prosperity and larger populations exhibit a significant TMPP impact, while extreme climatic conditions alleviate the adverse effects of TMPP on conventional bus attractiveness. Thirdly, this study highlights the significant heterogeneity in TMPP effects across cities and regions, necessitating tailored strategies for constructing “Transit Metropolises”. These findings provide valuable insights for broadening the application scope of “Transit Metropolis” theory, scaling TMPP implementation, guiding transportation development strategies, and offering policymakers actionable references to promote the sustainable evolution of city transit systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48378,"journal":{"name":"Transport Policy","volume":"171 ","pages":"Pages 308-325"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144321509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
