使用公共交通被认为是一种帮助个人在日常生活中融入规律体育活动的方式。然而，作为一个新颖的研究课题，我们还不甚了解。该分析的目的是确定到公交站点的距离与步行到达该站点的概率之间的相关性。我们还试图了解这种关系是否受到旅行、个人或家庭因素的调节。这项横断面分析使用了2012年加州家庭旅行调查的数据。其中包括2573人，代表6949次过境旅行。广义估计方程将积极使用公共交通的概率建模为从起点到公交站点的距离以及多次旅行、个人和家庭变量的函数。分析在2014年和2015年进行。从起点到中转站的距离每增加一英里，主动通行的概率就会下降12%。在其他因素相同的情况下，在距离公交车站两英里的地方，与非主动方式相比，有人步行到车站的可能性为50%。距离-步行关系随出行月份的变化而变化。人们似乎愿意走得比现有指南显示的更远。这意味着对于任何给定的公交站点，步行到达公交站点的潜在乘客的区域相对较大。未来的研究应该弄清楚谁是与公交相关的步行者，以及为什么有些人比其他人更愿意走更远的距离去公交。
Use of public transit is cited as a way to help individuals incorporate regular physical activity into their day. As a novel research topic, however, there is much we do not know. The aim of this analysis was to identify the correlation between distance to a transit stop and the probability it will be accessed by walking. We also sought to understand if this relation was moderated by trip, personal or household factors. Data from the 2012 California Household Travel Survey was used for this cross-sectional analysis. 2,573 individuals were included, representing 6,949 transit trips. Generalized estimating equations modeled the probability of actively accessing public transit as a function of distance from origin to transit stop, and multiple trip, personal and household variables. Analyses were conducted in 2014 and 2015. For each mile increase in distance from the point of origin to the transit stop, the probability of active access decreased by 12%. With other factors held equal, at two miles from a transit stop there is a 50% chance someone will walk to a stop versus non-active means. The distance-walking relation was modified by month the trips were taken. Individuals appear to be willing to walk further to reach transit than existing guidelines indicate. This implies that for any given transit stop, the zone of potential riders who will walk to reach transit is relatively large. Future research should clarify who transit-related walkers are, and why some are more willing to walk longer distances to transit than others.
