Abstract

To assess the effectiveness of the Transit Metropolis policy in advancing sustainable urban transportation, this study examines how information interventions influence public travel attitude, policy responsiveness, and support. The research in pilot cities across China involved an information intervention experiment targeting urban residents to understand changes in their transportation choices and attitudes toward the policy. A Propensity Score Matching-Difference-in-Differences (PSM-DID) approach was employed to rigorously evaluate the policy’s impact. This combined methodology allows for a more accurate estimation of effects by reducing potential biases in the data, revealing important insights into the policy’s role in enhancing public transit preference and reducing private car reliance.
