Résumé

The experience of walking to transit stops plays a critical role in the use of public transportation. Having a safe and walkable environment for this part of the trip is even more important for vulnerable population groups, who depend more heavily on public transportation. The aim of this paper was to evaluate first-mile/last-mile walkability and road risks in the Montreal metropolitan area using an environmental justice approach. Using a spatially sound method, we determined that areas in which a greater number of people identify as visible minorities are disadvantaged in terms of walking-to-transit routes and that areas with low-income populations and people ages 65 and over have more walkable environments but also have to deal with more road risk.
