The rapid urbanization of cities has led to a surge in transportation demands, resulting in increased carbon emissions and environmental degradation. Addressing this challenge requires innovative solutions that prioritize sustainability. This study investigates the potential of efficient last-mile connectivity to substantially reduce the carbon footprint of urban transportation systems. By optimizing the connection between public transit stations and residential areas, these solutions can encourage a shift from private vehicles to public transportation, thereby reducing emissions. Beyond the conventional focus on infrastructure development, technological advancements, and policy interventions, this research introduces a novel perspective by examining passenger preferences and trip characteristics in relation to last-mile access. By analysing passenger choices at different stages of their daily journeys—beginning, intermediate and end—the study provides valuable insights into factors influencing mode selection and contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of urban mobility patterns. To address the complexities of urban transportation, this research encompasses a wide range of factors, including public, collective, shared, and private transport modes, motorized and non-motorized options, infrastructure and services. It also explores the linkages between urban and interurban transportation, considering strategies and guidelines for enhancing urban mobility at selected stations. The objective of research is placed a concept of preference and trip characteristics towards access means next to one station at that important position. This research highlighted to examine such a characteristic of passengers’ choices sub stratified of being at the beginning, at an intermediary location or at the end of the daily trips, the final or one of the many intermediate destinations. In conclusion, this research suggests a comprehensive framework for developing sustainable and environmentally friendly urban transportation systems. By combining traditional approaches with a deeper understanding of passenger behaviour and the broader urban mobility landscape, this study provides valuable insights for policymakers, urban planners and transportation providers.
