The impacts of a new railway: travel behaviour of residents in new station precincts

Abstract

This paper reports associations between transit oriented development (TOD) characteristics and behaviour of households following the construction of a new suburban railway through southern Perth, Western Australia. Three precincts have been selected for comparison representing the different development opportunities ranging from potentially congenial configurations of railway station precincts, containing a variety of shops, services, and other attractions to station precincts acting primarily as origin stations or transit interchanges. Drawing on a quasi longitudinal study, examining behaviours before and after the railway opened, the degree to which TOD has resulted in residents reducing their motorised travel and substituting car travel with public transport within the region and walking or cycling within the local neighbourhood has been measured. Overall travel behaviour change is reported on including drilling down to the detail of individuals and households to examine the associations between household characteristics and their location and travel behaviour.
