Using bike count data shared by New York City Department of Transportation, C2SMART Center’s NYC synthetic population, and the Transit Trip Planner from NYS Department of Transportation, the researchers at BUILT@NYU developed a new forecast model that incorporates statistically significant multimodal network connectivity measures. This provides a relationship between investments in transit infrastructure and bike ridership that is especially important in transit deserts and considering last mile connectivity in the post-pandemic era. Funding support from C2SMART and the NYU Undergraduate Summer Research Program.
