Satisfaction with travel, ideal commuting, and accessibility to employment

This paper explores relationships between commuting times, job accessibility, and satisfaction based on a large-scale survey applied in the Greater London Area (GLA), municipality of São Paulo (MSP) Dutch Randstad (NLR). Potential accessibility to jobs is estimated under 3 different scenarios: reported actual times (ACT), ideal (ICT), maximum willingness commute (MCT). In addition, binary logistic regression models, using generalized linear modeling (GLM), are performed assess impact these temporal preferences likelihood being satisfied with commuting. As expected, strongly volume spatial distribution measured jobs. selected case studies, ICT-based significantly decreases total (60 100 percent), those living lowest zones impacted most. Furthermore, although specific results varied regions, overall findings show an association ACT satisfaction. Likewise, mode found be strong predictor travel Those actively traveling all three metropolitan regions tend more their commutes. only weakly associated
