移民占美国近期城市人口增长的大部分，也是经济增长的主要原因。预计这种情况将持续几十年。外国出生的人更有可能使用交通工具，拼车，步行和自行车，特别是在他们在美国生活的头几年。这些趋势为交通和土地利用规划者带来了挑战和机遇，以提高人口增长的环境可持续性，最大限度地利用现有交通系统，并支持经济发展。但这样做取决于预测不同移民群体的旅行需求，而这些需求又取决于他们的就业和居住地点选择。作者介绍了关于这些趋势的最新数据，总结了研究文献，并确定了需要回答的主要研究问题，以了解如何适应移民驱动的人口增长的旅行需求。
Immigrants account for a majority of recent urban population growth in the United States, and for much economic growth as well. This is expected to continue for the next several decades. The foreign-born are much more likely to use transit, carpool, walk, and bicycle, particularly in their first few years of living in the United States. These trends represent challenges and opportunities for transportation and land use planners to increase the environmental sustainability of population growth, use existing transportation systems to their maximum efficiency, and support economic development. But doing so depends on anticipating the travel demands of varying immigrant groups, and those demands in turn depend on their employment and residential location choices. The authors present the most current data available on these trends, summarize research literature, and identify the major research questions needing answers to understand how to accommodate the travel demands of immigration-driven population growth.
