Few studies have examined potential disparities in access to transportation infrastructures, an important determinant of population health.
To examine individual- and area-level disparities in access to the road network, public transportation system, and a public bicycle share program in Montreal, Canada.
Examining associations between sociodemographic variables and access to the road network, public transportation system, and a public bicycle share program, 6,495 adult respondents (mean age, 48.7 years; 59.0 % female) nested in 33 areas were included in a multilevel analysis.
Individuals with lower incomes lived significantly closer to public transportation and the bicycle share program. At the area level, the interaction between low-education and low-income neighborhoods showed that these areas were significantly closer to public transportation and the bicycle share program controlling for individual and urbanicity variables.
More deprived areas of the Island of Montreal have better access to transportation infrastructure than less-deprived areas.
很少有研究关注交通基础设施获取方面的潜在差异，而交通基础设施是人口健康的一个重要决定因素。
在加拿大蒙特利尔，研究个体和区域层面在获取道路网络、公共交通系统和公共自行车共享计划方面的差异。
在一项多层次分析中，纳入了 33 个区域的 6495 名成年受访者（平均年龄 48.7 岁，59.0%为女性），研究了社会人口变量与获取道路网络、公共交通系统和公共自行车共享计划之间的关联。
收入较低的个体与公共交通和自行车共享计划的距离更近。在区域层面，低教育和低收入社区之间的相互作用表明，在控制个体和城市化变量的情况下，这些区域与公共交通和自行车共享计划的距离更近。
蒙特利尔岛较贫困地区的交通基础设施获取情况优于较富裕地区。
