dc.description.abstractCOVID-19 has deeply affected people’s daily life and travel behaviors. This study uses large-scale mobile device location data at the U.S. county level in the DMV area to reveal the impacts of demographic and socioeconomic variables on commute trip change. The study investigates the contribution of these variables to the temporal and spatial varying impacts on commuter trips. It reflects the short and long-term impact of COVID-19 on travel behavior via linear regression and geographically weighted regression models. The results indicate that commute trips decreased with more white-collar jobs, while blue-collar sectors demonstrated the opposite effect. Unexpectedly, elderly individuals, who were highly vulnerable to COVID-19, negatively correlated with decreased commute trips. Moreover, in the DMV area, counties with a higher proportion of Democratic voters also showed a negative correlation with reduced commute trips. Notably, the pandemic's impact on commuting behaviors was global at the onset of COVID-19. Still, the effects exhibited local correlations as the pandemic evolved, suggesting a geographical impact pattern.en_US
