Assessing the Barriers and Impacts of COVID-19 on Specific Groups Travel Behaviour and Mode Choice

Fall 2020

COVID-19 has had a significant impact on transit ridership levels and patterns in Durham Region. While this may be due to several factors, including loss of employment or an increase in working from home, a significant factor is fear and apprehension from citizens in travelling during a pandemic.

The purpose of this project was to develop dynamic communication materials that can help make people more comfortable travelling during COVID-19, including infographics and website content.
