This research investigates differences in the adaptation process of immigrant commute distance and commute mode across and within three racial/ethnic groups—white, Hispanic, and Asian—in the United States to explore policies that facilitate immigrant travel in an efficient and sustainable way. A two-step analysis is conducted: the first step uses all US-born as the reference group, and the second step uses US-born of the same race/ethnicity as the reference. The second step overcomes a potential problem in existing research on immigrant travel adaptation: When all US-born are used as the reference group, the statistics mainly reflect the travel behavior of US-born white people, masking intrinsic travel differences among US-born racial/ethnic groups. Based on multi-level regression analysis of the 2017 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) data, our results support existing findings of initial difference but eventual convergence of immigrant commute behavior with US-born, while highlighting white immigrants' persistence and Hispanic immigrants' low propensity in using non-automobile modes. Comparison results based on the two reference groups suggest that segmented assimilation due to racial/ethnic group membership is limited. Still, nuanced findings denote distinctive spatial mechanisms that affect immigrant and US-born Asians and highlight the short time window after immigrants' arrival in the U.S. during which policies might contribute to a continuation of their sustainable travel patterns.

比较种族/族裔群体之间和内部的移民通勤旅行适应

本研究调查了美国白人、西班牙裔和亚裔三个种族/族裔群体之间和内部的移民通勤距离和通勤方式在适应过程中的差异,以探索以有效和可持续的方式促进移民旅行的政策。进行了两步分析:第一步使用所有美国出生的人作为参照组,第二步使用美国出生的同一种族/民族作为参照。第二步克服现有移民旅行适应研究中的一个潜在问题:当所有美国出生的人作为参照组时,统计数据主要反映美国出生的白人的旅行行为,掩盖了美国出生的种族之间的内在旅行差异。 /民族。基于对 2017 年全国家庭旅行调查 (NHTS) 数据的多级回归分析,我们的结果支持现有的研究结果,即移民与美国出生的通勤行为最初存在差异但最终趋于一致,同时突出了白人移民的持久性和西班牙裔移民使用非汽车模式的低倾向。基于两个参考群体的比较结果表明,由于种族/族裔群体成员身份而导致的分段同化是有限的。尽管如此,细微的发现表明影响移民和美国出生的亚洲人的独特空间机制,并突出了移民抵达美国后的短期窗口,在此期间,政策可能有助于他们的可持续旅行模式的延续。持久性和西班牙裔移民使用非汽车模式的低倾向。基于两个参考群体的比较结果表明,由于种族/族裔群体成员身份而导致的分段同化是有限的。尽管如此,细微的发现表明影响移民和美国出生的亚洲人的独特空间机制,并突出了移民抵达美国后的短期窗口,在此期间,政策可能有助于他们的可持续旅行模式的延续。持久性和西班牙裔移民使用非汽车模式的低倾向。基于两个参考群体的比较结果表明,由于种族/族裔群体成员身份而导致的分段同化是有限的。尽管如此,细微的发现表明影响移民和美国出生的亚洲人的独特空间机制,并突出了移民抵达美国后的短暂时间窗口,在此期间,政策可能有助于他们的可持续旅行模式的延续。
