الوصف: This study examines the impacts of a community's transportation system on the quality of life provided to its residents. Other key livability factors are also identified, and their impacts on community quality of life are estimated. These livability indicators are categorized into four main dimensions: social, physical/climate, functional, and safety. The study also examines the impacts of community quality of life on overall life satisfaction for an individual. Data were obtained from a nationwide livability survey. Survey data were analyzed using ordered probit models. The first model estimated ease of travel as a function of community transportation characteristics and individual characteristics. The second model estimated community quality of life as a function of the quality of the livability indicators. The final model estimated life satisfaction as a function of community quality of life and other factors. Separate models were estimated for metro and non-metro areas. Transit quality, the conditions of roads, congestion, and traffic safety were all found to have significant impacts on ease of travel. Ease of travel and walkability, among other factors, were found to impact community quality of life. Results also showed the positive impact that community quality of life has on overall life satisfaction.
