Factors influencing commute distance: a case study of Toronto’s commuter shed
Authors: Jeffrey J. Axisa, Darren M. Scott, and K. Bruce Newbold
Overview
Abstract (English)
This study examines factors that influence commute distance within the commuter shed of Toronto, Canada. The investigation uses data drawn from the 2006 Census of Canada Master file (20% sample). The findings from two multiple linear regression models indicate that being a recent migrant and/or living in the most accessible rural areas of Toronto’s commuter shed substantially increases commute distance. At the same time, employment type, sex, and age, among other factors, are also found to significantly influence commute distance.
