Active transportation

This article performs a meta-analysis on previous studies of how the built environment affects active transportation. Consistent with past research, the authors determined that vehicle miles traveled (VMT) is most strongly related to measures of accessibility to destinations and secondarily to street network design variables.

This article performs a meta-analysis on previous studies of how the built environment affects travel behavior of all kinds, including active transportation. Consistent with past research, the authors determined that vehicle miles traveled (VMT) is most strongly related to measures of accessibility to destinations and secondarily to street network design variables.
