This study aimed at confirming the benefits of transit-oriented development(TOD) on increasing transit ridership and dispersing transit ridership time distribution.To explore the influences of the built environment of TOD on the volume,as well as the time distribution, of metro ridership, this study used 46 metrostations in Taipei city as samples and developed cross-section analyses of theyear 2004 with regression models and t-tests. The observed results reached thefollowing conclusions: The daily ridership is positively affected by the area offloor space, negatively affected by the ratio of 4-way intersections and insignificantlyaffected by mixed land-use variables. The ridership time dispersion ispositively affected by the sidewalk length, negatively affected by the area of retailand service floor space, and insignificantly influenced by the density variables.The off-peak hour’s ridership presents a similar model of daily ridership;the density and design variable influence on daily ridership is significantly differentbetween weekdays and holidays. The effects of all TOD characters ondaily ridership entropy are significantly different between weekdays and holidays,and the influence of density and design variables on off-peak hour ridershipis significantly different between weekdays and holidays. Finally, two potentialapplications of the observed findings: TOD strategy directions correspondingto the domestic conditions, and planning analysis for a specific stationarea, are discussed for the reference of urban planning and management agencies. |
