Happy Cities: The Role of Transportation
No full textPsychology research increasingly suggests that emotional well-being contributes to human development in significant ways. Happier people often are more productive and creative, have better family and social relationships, and in general are more successful. For urban planners, it is important to understand people’s daily emotional experiences as they move through cities, according to research by Yingling Fan, Associate Professor in the Regional Planning and Policy Area at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs. Are we creating neighborhoods and cities with emotional intelligence, capable of evoking positive emotions and reducing negative emotions?Fan, Yingling. (2017).

Daily Travel Behavior and Emotional Well-Being: A comprehensive assessment of travel- related emotions and the associated trip and personal factors
No full textEmotional well-being has become an important societal goal given the rising evidence from psychology research that positive emotions have long-lasting benefits for human development. Although daily travel behavior has been found to influence emotional well-being, existing research in the field has focused on limited travel behavior dimensions such as travel mode and/or travel duration. Other dimensions such as travel purpose and travel companionship have received limited attention. Using data from the 2012-2013 American Time Use Survey, this paper offers a comprehensive assessment of how various trip- and personal-level factors relates to various positive and negative emotions.Zhu, Jing; Fan, Yingling.

How Light-Rail Transit Improves Job Access for Low-Wage Workers (Research Brief)
No full textThis 2-page research brief highlights the study, Impact of Twin Cities Transitways on Regional Labor Market Accessibility: A Transportation Equity Perspective (CTS 10-06), that aimed to uncover whether Twin Cities transitways effectively connect low-wage workers with suitable job opportunities. It focused on the impacts of the Hiawatha light-rail line, which runs between downtown Minneapolis and its southern suburbs. Construction on the Hiawatha line began in 2001 and was completed in 2004. The study also examines whether households and employers have relocated to take advantage of benefits provided by transitways.Center for Transportation Studies, Itasca Group, Hennepin County, Washington County, Ramsey County, Minnesota Department of Transportation, Anoka County, University Metropolitan Consortium, Metropolitan CouncilCTS; Fan, Yingling.

Economic Development Impacts of Bus Rapid Transit
No full textBus rapid transit (BRT) will play an increasingly important role in the Twin Cities transit system in the future. A key aim of transit corridor investments is improving access to jobs, particularly jobs for which disadvantaged workers are likely to be qualified. Transit improvements enhance job access by shortening journey times, but the greatest possible accessibility benefits require station-area job growth that is not restricted to central business districts. This research compares job growth within one half mile of new light rail and bus rapid transit stations implemented in the Twin Cities and peer regions between 2003 and 2010, broken down by sector are wage categories. Fixed transit infrastructure (light rail tracks or BRT dedicated guideways), total street mileage in station areas, proximity to central business districts and overall regional economic strength are associated with more station-area jobs. Policy recommendations include building a strong corridor identity for arterial BRT lines, proactive job growth promotion efforts along BRT lines in general and a continued focus on social and racial equity concerns.Guthrie, Andrew; Fan, Yingling.
