59 Previous chapters explored the role of demographics, location, and preferences separately as influences on the transit markets. This chapter analyzes all of these factors together by using two market research–based travel demand models developed specifically in this study.

A complete description of the development of these ICLV models is presented in Technical Appendix 6.

Understanding How the Factors Fit Together: Integrated Modeling 61 Best for All Transit The effects of changing transit level of service on projected demand also depend on what changes occur in the ride-hailing market. The best scenario for transit decreases all the bus and train time and cost attributes by 25% ("bus and train better")

Similarly, of the 8% decrease in the worst scenario, about 5% appears to be related to education level, and 3% appears to be related to age.

Understanding How the Factors Fit Together: Integrated Modeling 65 A New Model for the Impact of Values and Attitudes on Transit Ridership A separate model was built to focus on attitudes and values, with little emphasis on supply characteristics. The study of preferences in the explanation of variation in public transportation ridership involves multiple attitudinal factors, some of which involve longer-term decisions (e.g., where to live and how many cars to own)

In Figure 24, this factor representing normative pressure is labeled "Social Support for Transit Trip." The data in Table 23 can be interpreted in several ways.
