Understanding who takes advantage of new transit (public transportation) interventions is important for personal and environmental health. We examine transit ridership for residents living near a new light rail construction as part of "complete street," pedestrian-friendly improvements. Adult residents (n=536) completed surveys and wore accelerometer and GPS units that tracked ridership before and after new transit service started. Transit riders were more physically active. Those from environments rated as more walkable were likely to be continuing transit riders. Place attachment, but not perceived physical incivilities on the path to transit, was associated with those who continued to ride or became new riders of transit. This effect was mediated through pro-city attitudes, which emphasize how the new service makes residents eager to explore areas around transit. Thus, place attachment, along with physical and health conditions, may be important predictors and promoters of transit use.

过境乘客的环境、行为和心理预测因素：来自社区干预的证据

了解谁利用了新的交通（公共交通）干预措施对于个人和环境健康很重要。作为“完整街道”、方便行人改进的一部分，我们研究了居住在新轻轨建设附近的居民的公交乘客量。成年居民 (n=536) 完成了调查并佩戴了加速计和 GPS 装置，这些装置可以在新的公交服务开始之前和之后跟踪乘客量。过境乘客的身体活动更加活跃。那些来自被评为更适合步行的环境的人可能会继续乘坐公交。地方依恋与那些继续骑车或成为新乘车者的人有关，而不是在交通路径上感知到的身体不文明。这种影响是通过亲城市态度来调节的，这强调了新服务如何让居民渴望探索公交周边地区。因此，地方依恋以及身体和健康状况可能是交通使用的重要预测因素和促进因素。
