Despite contributions to reducing private car dependency and carbon emissions, impacts of transit-oriented development (TOD) on ride-hailing usage are largely overlooked in existing studies. Using massive ride-hailing trips data in Chengdu, the influence of subway proximity on vehicle kilometers traveled (VKT) and corresponding CO2 emissions of ride-hailing is examined at the disaggregated level. Similarly, moderated mul-tiple regression is adopted to investigate the interaction effects of subway proximity at pick-up and drop-off on VKT of ride-hailing. Results suggest that for each additional kilometer in subway proximity at pick-up/drop-off position, the VKT of ride-hailing trips is reduced by 0.315 km/0.273 km, resulting in the CO2 emission reduction of 0.063 kg/0.055 kg. Moreover, the influence of pick-up proximity on VKT change is negatively moderated by drop-off proximity and vice versa. Our results suggest that the carbon emission reduction can benefit from "T (Transit) " however the problem of regional imbalances in "D (Development) " needs to be addressed.
