  • Addressing Women's Fear of Victimization in Transportation

While the relationship between women’s fear of crime and public space has been the focus of considerable research, transit environments—which are especially threatening to female passengers—have received much less attention. This study examines the issue of women’s safety on transit through a survey of U.S. transit operators. The findings show that most respondents believe women have distinct safety and security needs, but most do not think agencies should put specific programs into place to address these needs. In addition, only a handful of agencies currently have programs that target the safety and security needs of women. This survey suggests that there is a significant mismatch between the safety and security needs and desires of female passengers and the types and locations of strategies that transit agencies use. Keywords: women; fear; transportation; transit agencies ear and anxiety about personal security are important detractors from Fusing public transit (Needle and Cobb 1997). People avoid specific transit routes or bus stops, use them only during daytime, or do not use transit at all if they believe that they may be harassed or victimized when on the bus or train or at the station or stop.

  • Explore: an Attraction Search Tool for Transit Trip Planning
    Explore: An Attraction Search Tool for Transit Trip Planning Explore: An Attraction Search Tool for Transit Trip Planning Kari Edison Watkins, Brian Ferris, and G. Scott Rutherford University of Washington Abstract Publishing information about a transit agency’s stops, routes, schedules, and status in a variety of formats and delivery methods is an essential part of improving the usabil- ity of a transit system and the satisfaction of a system’s riders. A key staple of most transit traveler information systems is the trip planner, a tool that serves travelers well if the both origin and destination are known. However, sometimes the availabil- ity of transit at a location is more important than the actual destination. Given this premise, we developed an Attractions Search Tool to make use of an underlying trip planner to search online databases of local restaurants, shopping, parks and other amenities based on transit availability from the user’s origin. The ability to perform such a search by attraction type rather than specific destination can be a powerful aid to a traveler with a need or desire to use public transportation. Background Publishing information about a transit agency’s stops, routes, schedules, and status in a variety of formats and delivery methods is an essential part of improving the ease of use of a transit system and the satisfaction of a system’s riders. No longer the domain of just simple printed schedules, transit traveler information systems have grown to include route maps and timetables, trip planners, real-time track- ers, service alerts, and others tools made available across cell phones, web brows- ers, and new Internet devices as driven by rider demand (Multisystems 2003).
