Individual- and area-level disparities in access to the road network, subway system and a public bicycle share program on the Island of Montreal, Canada.
BACKGROUND: Few studies have examined potential disparities in access to transportation infrastructures, an important determinant of population health.
PURPOSE: 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.
METHODS: 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.
RESULTS: 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.
CONCLUSIONS: More deprived areas of the Island of Montreal have better access to transportation infrastructure than less-deprived areas.
