Abstract | The design, management and operation of transport systems is a complex activity and this has only been exacerbated since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Concern has been raised over the likelihood of the public transport sector surviving in some locations given the significant drops in patronage; this is especially so in rural environments where the existing provision was already limited. Furthermore, within the growing literature on the impact of COVID-19 on travel behaviour most of the focus is on urban areas with little documented experience of how rural travel behaviour has been impacted. |

Abstract | The Tipping Point – What COVID-19 Travel Reduction Tells Us About Effective Congestion Relief uses observed data collected before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Twin Cities metropolitan area to answer a question with important implications for highway investment planning and travel demand management: At what level of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) does congestion significantly decline or disappear? The study pursues this question through a series of statistical analyses identifying inflection points in the relationship between regional VMT and congestion. The study also looks at the relationship between VMT and congestion at the corridor level to assess the sensitivity of congestion on specific roadways to changes in travel demand. This analysis categorizes Twin Cities freeways based on congestion frequency, highlighting the corridors expected to become congestion free as VMT declines and the corridors expected to remain congested. |
