“…On the other hand, poor road conditions, such as potholes, uneven surfaces, and inadequate signage, can increase the risk of cycling crashes [37][38][39]. In addition, the presence of barriers, such as high curbs or fences, can make it difficult for cyclists to navigate the road safely [40,41]. Designing cycling infrastructure that prioritizes the safety and needs of cyclists can reduce the risk of cycling crashes and make cycling a more accessible and attractive transportation mode.…”

This manuscript presents a study on the spatial relationships between bike accidents, the built environment, land use, and transportation network characteristics in Budapest, Hungary using geographic weighted regression (GWR). The sample period includes bike crash data between 2017 and 2022. The findings provide insights into the spatial distribution of bike crashes and their severity, which can be useful for designing targeted interventions to improve bike safety in Budapest and be useful for policymakers and city planners in developing effective strategies to reduce the severity of bike crashes in urban areas. The study reveals that built environment features, such as traffic signals, road crossings, and bus stops, are positively correlated with the bike crash index, particularly in the inner areas of the city. However, traffic signals have a negative correlation with the bike crash index in the suburbs, where they may contribute to making roads safer for cyclists. The study also shows that commercial activity and PT stops have a higher impact on bike crashes in the northern and western districts. GWR analysis further suggests that one-way roads and higher speed limits are associated with more severe bike crashes, while green and recreational areas are generally safer for cyclists. Future research should be focused on the traffic volume and bike trips’ effects on the severity index.

“…While transportation is foundational to equal access to opportunity (Inwood et al, 2015), PEH are often challenged by inadequate transportation that limits access to education, employment, and healthcare services (Brallier et al, 2019; Canham et al, 2019; Hauff & Secor‐Turner, 2014; Hennein & De Alba Campomanes, 2021; Murphy, 2019). Though PEH may remain close to services they require for survival (e.g., shelter, food), they are often on the move during the day, using various transportation modes (e.g., walking, biking, public transit, personal vehicle) (Hui & Habib, 2017; Parker, 2019). Given that biking is more affordable than public transportation, there is evidence that bike ownership programs improve mobility among PEH (Dunlap et al, 2021; Grimes & Smirnova, 2020).…”

Community perspectives on how decentralising an emergency shelter influences transportation needs and use for persons experiencing homelessness

Despite steady increases in homelessness in the U.S., only recently has research on transportation needs and use for persons experiencing homelessness (PEH) been the focus of research endeavours. Moreover, limited research has identified how the geographic relocation of homeless community services and resources impacts the transportation needs of PEH and how this process affects access to health and social services. To fill this gap in the literature, using a community‐engaged research approach, we conducted a qualitative research study in which 24 professionals working in planning, transportation, local government, and the homelessness services sector were engaged in in‐depth, semi‐structured interviews. We examined participant perspectives on how PEH transportation needs and use changed after three new emergency shelters replaced a centralised one, and how access to health and social services was impacted. Data were organised into three overarching categories: (1) Changes in transportation need and use following decentralisation; (2) Impact of transportation changes on PEH access to services; and (3) Recommendations for improving transportation access. Findings suggest the need to offer PEH transportation on demand, provide education on transportation and system navigation, and increase transportation‐related funding for homeless service providers and PEH to ensure transportation costs are not a barrier to healthcare and social services.
