Perceived accessibility across activity types and transport modes

Recently, perceived accessibility has been proposed as a supplementary measure to traditional accessibility indicators to support more comprehensive policies for sustainable travel behavior. Previous studies explore perceived accessibility across trip purposes and conventional transport modes but overlook shared micro-mobility with such factors as walkability and bikeability. The current study addresses these gaps by examining how perceived walkability, bikeability, and access to shared transport modes influence perceived accessibility, which are closely related to the built environment. A web-panel survey is conducted, and the data are analyzed by using ordered logit models. The results highlight the influence of varied parameters, where socio-demographic factors significantly affect the perceived accessibility of public transport and cars, while mode-specific perceptions play a greater role in the case of active and shared mobility modes. The findings underline the importance of including and analyzing individuals’ perceptions of existing infrastructures to support a transition toward green travel behavior.
