To assess predictors of stated support for policies promoting physically active transportation.
Cross-sectional.
US counties selected on county-level physical activity and obesity health status.
Participants completing random-digit dialed telephone survey (n = 906).
Survey measures assessed stated support for 5 policies to promote physically active transportation, access to active transportation facilities, and time spent in a car. County-level estimates included household car dependence and funding for bicycle-pedestrian projects.
Multivariable generalized linear mixed models using binary distribution and logit link, accounting for clustering within county.
Respondents supported policies for accommodating bicyclists and pedestrians through street improvements (89%), school active transportation programs (75%), employer-funded active commuting incentives (67%), and allocation of public funding (68%) and tax support (56%) for building and maintaining public transit. Residents spending >2 h/d (vs <0.7 hours) in cars were more likely to support street (odds ratio [OR]: 1.87; confidence interval [CI]: 1.09-3.22) and public transit (OR: 1.85; CI: 1.24-2.77) improvements. Residents in counties investing >$1.6 million in bicycle and pedestrian improvements expressed greater support for funding (OR: 1.71; CI: 1.04-2.83) and tax increases (OR: 1.73; CI: 1.08-2.75) for transit improvements compared to those with lower prior investments (<$276 100).
Support for policies to enable active transportation is higher where relevant investments in active transportation infrastructure are large (>$1.6 M), public transit is nearby, and respondents drive >2 h/d.
评估对促进积极出行政策的明确支持的预测因素。
横断面研究。
根据县级身体活动和肥胖健康状况选择的美国各县。
完成随机数字拨号电话调查的参与者(n = 906)。
调查测量评估了对5项促进积极出行政策、使用积极出行设施的情况以及在汽车中花费的时间的明确支持。县级估计包括家庭对汽车的依赖程度以及自行车和行人项目的资金。
使用二元分布和对数链接的多变量广义线性混合模型,考虑县内的聚类情况。
受访者支持通过街道改善来容纳骑自行车者和行人的政策(89%)、学校积极出行计划(75%)、雇主资助的积极通勤激励措施(67%)以及为建设和维护公共交通分配公共资金(68%)和税收支持(56%)。每天在汽车中花费超过2小时(与少于0.7小时相比)的居民更有可能支持街道(优势比[OR]:1.87;置信区间[CI]:1.09 - 3.22)和公共交通(OR:1.85;CI:1.24 - 2.77)改善。与先前投资较低(<276,100美元)的县相比,在自行车和行人改善方面投资超过160万美元的县的居民对交通改善的资金(OR:1.71;CI:1.04 - 2.83)和增税(OR:1.73;CI:1.08 - 2.75)表示出更大的支持。
在积极交通基础设施相关投资较大(>160万美元)、附近有公共交通且受访者每天开车超过2小时的地方,对促进积极出行政策的支持更高。
