摘要

公共交通系统面临的一大挑战是 "最初一英里 "和 "最后一英里"(FLM)的连接。随着智能技术和按需运输服务的出现,共享微型交通被认为是缩小首末里差距的低成本解决方案。然而,多项研究对共享微型交通所实现的 "最后一英里"(FLM)得出的结论不一。本研究通过控制建筑环境和社会经济状况等混杂变量,探讨了共享无桩电动滑板车对最后一英里公共交通连接的因果效应。研究采用了准实验设计。如果在引入电动滑板车服务后,地铁站附近的电动滑板车服务区增加了地铁乘客数量,则本研究将其定义为 "最后一英里连通性",即治疗效果。在使用倾向得分匹配法对治疗组和对照组进行配对后,我们使用差分回归法考察了共享无桩电动滑板车服务与电动滑板车服务前后公共轨道交通乘客量变化之间的因果关系。研究结果表明,处理效应--公交缓冲区周围更高的电动滑板车出行密度--对每月的轨道交通乘客量产生了积极影响。总之,规划和交通机构可以制定街道设计指南或公交导向开发,以鼓励积极、安全地使用电动滑板车,从而促进无桩共享电动滑板车与公交系统更好地融合。

Unlocking the role of shared dockless e-scooters bridging last-mile gaps: A quasi-experimental study of metro rail transit in Los Angeles

One major challenge of a public transit system is first- and last-mile (FLM) connectivity. With the advent of smart technology and on-demand transportation services, shared micromobility is believed to provide a low-cost solution for bridging the first- and last-mile gap. However, several studies have arrived at mixed conclusions about the FLM achieved by shared mircomobility. This study explores the causal effect of shared dockless e-scooters on last-mile connectivity to public transit by controlling confounding variables, including built environment and socioeconomic status. The study employs a quasi-experimental design. This study defines last-mile connectivity, here, treatment effect, if e-scooter service areas near rail stations increase metro rail ridership after the introduction of e-scooter service. After matching pairs between treatment and control groups using propensity score matching, we use difference-in-difference regression to examine the causal relationship between shared dockless e-scooter service and ridership changes in public rail transit before and after e-scooter service. The findings indicate that the treatment effect, a higher e-scooter trip density around transit buffer areas, positively impacts monthly rail ridership. In conclusion, planning and transportation agencies can develop street design guidelines or transit-oriented development to encourage the active and safe use of e-scooters, thereby promoting better integration of shared dockless e-scooters with transit systems.
