Monograph

This issue contains 14 papers that are concerned with socioeconomic, health, and human factors. Specific topics addressed include: the impact of highway investment on the economy and employment across U.S. industrial sectors; the evolving connection of transit, agglomeration, and growth of high-technology business clusters; commuting, job clusters, and travel burdens; and a willingness-to-pay method to estimate the effect of accessibility on property prices. Other topics include: the impact of bus rapid transit and metro rail on property values in Guangzhou, China; accessibility for low-income workers in New Orleans, Louisiana, after Hurricane Katrina; travel behavior of the poor after welfare reform; and the impact of attitudes and life stage on decline in rates of driver's license acquisition by young people in Melbourne, Australia. In addition, the papers address: the use of health impact assessment for transportation planning; assessments of health impacts of transportation projects in an urban Indian context; and rural communities and transportation equity in California's San Joaquin Valley. Finally, the papers examine: workplace neighborhoods, walking, physical activity, weight status, and perceived health; dispersion modeling of traffic-related air pollutant exposures and health effects among children with asthma; and the relationship between commute time and subjective well-being.
