However, surprisingly few studies have investigated the link between temporary employment and commuting length. Building on the notion that individuals strive to optimize their utility when deciding

Traditional multiple discrete–continuous (MDC) choice models impose tight linkages between consumers’ discrete choice and the continuous consumption decisions due to the use of a single utility parameter driving both the decision to choose and the extent of choice.

Public transit agencies face a transformed landscape of rider demand and political support as the COVID-19 pandemic recedes. We explore people’s motivations for returning to or avoiding public transit a year into the pandemic. We draw on a March 2021 follow-up survey of over 1,900 people who rode transit regularly prior to the COVID-19 pandemic in Toronto and Vancouver, Canada, and who took part in
