Abstract

The unified approach to city traffic issues is based on the assumption that motorists will support road fees if the income derived from these fees is used by the transport sector alone. Analysis of a basic model for such a system revealed that the optimum service rate can be divided into three terms representing marginal costs, budget constraints and distributional characteristics.

Abstract

In Toronto in recent years, commuting trips to the Central Area have not risen as rapidly as would be expected from the growth in downtown office space. Various explanations have been suggested. In this article, we show that the rising residential population in the Central Area has served to reduce inbound commuting trips below what they otherwise would be. For reasons discussed in this article, it is normally difficult to quantify the effect on commuting of downtown housing growth or population intensification. By recognizing these difficulties and testing our results in various ways, we have been able to estimate that, on average since 1976, for each 100 additional dwelling units in the Central Area there has been a reduction of approximately 120 inbound trips during the morning three-hour rush period. This finding indicates the potential for the use of housing policy as a land-used planning instrument, one that could help mediate the conflict between continued commercial office growth downtown and the desire to preserve the downtown residential environment, which is threatened by the construction of new commuting facilities, particularly roads, to serve that office growth.
