Recent accessibility research suggests that the relationship between time and distance in the journey to work can produce diverging mobility situations. That is, areas farther away from employment can sometimes have faster commutes than areas closer, and vice versa. This article seeks to advance such research by exploring who is likely to experience which mobility situation. With data from the Census Transportation Planning Products 2012–2016, we examine accessibility in terms of time and distance in the journey to work in New York City to assess the spatial distribution of diverging mobility situations. We conduct a series of binomial logistic regressions and multinomial logistic regression models to assess how socioeconomic characteristics influence the likelihood of experiencing a specific mobility situation while controlling for transportation infrastructure and land-use patterns. The results of our study reveal the diverging mobility patterns across New York City and highlight the importance of socioeconomic characteristics on determining diverging mobility situations.

最近的无障碍研究表明，上班途中时间和距离之间的关系会产生不同的流动情况。也就是说，离工作地点较远的地区有时通勤速度会比较近，反之亦然。本文旨在通过探索谁可能会经历哪种流动情况来推进此类研究。我们利用 2012-2016 年人口普查交通规划产品的数据，检查在纽约市上班途中的时间和距离方面的可达性，以评估不同流动性情况的空间分布。我们进行了一系列二项式逻辑回归和多项式逻辑回归模型，以评估社会经济特征如何在控制交通基础设施和土地使用模式的同时影响经历特定流动情况的可能性。我们的研究结果揭示了纽约市不同的流动模式，并强调了社会经济特征对于确定不同流动情况的重要性。
