ABSTRACT

One of the efforts for sustainable development is activate transit use in transportation sector. The importance of public transit has grown gradually and many policies have been established. However, most of policies were implemented uniformly, so the effects of the policies did not meet the expectations. To accomplish of this study, we selected assessment indexes, city characteristics, and grouped using factor analysis, principal component method. Then we have 6 clusters by cluster analysis and analyzed the relationship between city characteristics and transit modal share through multiple regression analysis. The result demonstrates that public transit share tends to increase in a city has higher self-reliance ratio of local finance, paved roadway occupancy, tax revenue, population density, and car supply ratio. However, parking place occupancy and urban-rural consolidation policy have negative effect on the public transit share.
