How Does Car Parking Availability and Public Transport Accessibility Influence Work-Related Travel Behaviors?DOI: 10.3390/su2020576 Keywords: adults, car parking, public transport, physical activity, global positioning systems Abstract: This study investigated the relationships between car parking, public transport, travel behaviors, and health outcomes for adults (n = 1,188) traveling to a worksite. Public transport was used for 12.1% of the work-related commute. Those who had higher levels of walking, no worksite car park access, lived proximal to a public transport stop, had limited automobile availability, traveled to the main business district, perceived public transport as accessible, or did not have company car access were more likely to use public transportation. Accordingly, proximal residential transit stops and restrictions for company car accessibility and parking at the worksite are needed.
