Accession Number:

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

This paper studies the associations that may exist between commuting mode choice and public health. For this purpose, the authors used Community Health Survey data collected in New York City in 2010. Obesity, blood pressure, and diabetes are used as indicators of respondents’ physical health, and Non-Specific Psychological Distress as an indicator of respondents’ mental health. After rigorous statistical analyses, a binary probit model was fitted for each physical and mental health indicator to quantify the associations between different commuting modes and physical/mental health.

Supplemental Notes:

This paper was sponsored by TRB committee AP045 Standing Committee on Passenger Intermodal Facilities.
