This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award supports foundational behavioral research to understand what drives shifts from lifestyles oriented toward sustainable transportation modes – transit in particular – to auto-oriented lifestyles. Despite the critical importance of urban transportation systems that are affordable, reduce congestion, and are associated with low greenhouse gas emissions, developments over the last decade suggest that many multi-modal travelers eventually migrate to single-occupancy automobile travel. A key to understanding these shifts may be the way in which past travel experiences, satisfaction with travel, and subjective well-being during travel shape future traveler decision-making, but these effects are not sufficiently captured by current modeling approaches. This research develops a novel analytical framework to model and forecast such feedback effects, which will lead to a richer understanding of the long-term dynamics of urban travel and an improvement of travel demand forecasting tools. Thus, the research supports the development of policies and infrastructure investment decisions that aim to increase the environmental and social sustainability of urban travel and the provision and maintenance of high-quality public transportation services. Such efforts are central to providing accessible and affordable transportation options and access to opportunities to communities of concern, to meeting climate goals, and to enhancing the nation’s economic resilience. The research activities are integrated with educational activities to improve critical skills of transportation engineering students and build early excitement and awareness of transportation engineering among elementary school students in Columbus, Ohio. Comprehensive outreach activities engage transit practitioners early and throughout the project and ensure the relevance and applicability of the research to practice.Based on prior research, several behavioral mechanisms are hypothesized through which past travel experiences, satisfaction with travel, and subjective well-being (SWB) during travel shape future travel behavior. These mechanisms are investigated using detailed travel diary data from multi-modal travelers in a major US metropolitan area and appropriate econometric models. The novelty of this research lies in that, for the first time, the dynamics between satisfaction/SWB, beliefs, and choices are systematically studied. The research focuses on transit use but aims to derive generalizable insights about behavioral processes that tie in with the scientific community’s theoretical conceptualization of traveler choices. This supports the transformation of the field toward an emerging, holistic model that adds affective components to the traditional neoclassical economic elements of the traveler choice framework. The results will be translated into novel performance metrics that can be used by transit agencies and metropolitan planning organizations to quantify the link between transit service quality and passenger behavior and to better quantify the impacts of public funding for transit.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该学院早期职业发展（CAREER）奖支持基础行为研究，以了解是什么推动了从以可持续交通方式为导向的生活方式转变为以汽车为导向的生活方式。尽管负担得起的城市交通系统至关重要，减少拥堵，并与低温室气体排放有关，但过去十年的发展表明，许多多式联运旅客最终迁移到单人汽车旅行。理解这些变化的关键可能是过去的旅行体验，旅行满意度和主观幸福感在旅行中塑造未来旅行者决策的方式，但这些影响并没有被当前的建模方法充分捕获。这项研究开发了一种新的分析框架来建模和预测这种反馈效应，这将导致更丰富的了解城市交通的长期动态和改善交通需求预测工具。因此，该研究支持制定政策和基础设施投资决策，旨在提高城市交通的环境和社会可持续性，并提供和维护高质量的公共交通服务。这些努力对于提供无障碍和负担得起的交通选择以及为受关注社区提供机会、实现气候目标和增强国家的经济复原力至关重要。研究活动与教育活动相结合，以提高运输工程学生的关键技能，并建立早期的兴奋和运输工程的认识在哥伦布，俄亥俄州的小学生。全面的推广活动参与过境从业者早期和整个项目，并确保相关性和适用性的研究practice.Based上以前的研究，几个行为机制假设，通过过去的旅行经验，旅行满意度和主观幸福感（SWB）在旅行塑造未来的旅行行为。这些机制进行了研究，使用详细的旅行日记数据，从多模式的旅客在美国大都市区和适当的计量经济学模型。本研究的新奇在于，第一次，满意度/主观幸福感，信念和选择之间的动态系统研究。 这项研究的重点是交通使用，但旨在获得与科学界的理论概念化的旅行者选择有关的行为过程的可推广的见解。这支持了该领域向新兴的整体模型的转变，该模型将情感成分添加到旅行者选择框架的传统新古典主义经济元素中。研究结果将转化为新的绩效指标，可供公交机构和大都市规划组织使用，以量化公交服务质量与乘客行为之间的联系，并更好地量化公共资金对公交的影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
