英文摘要：
Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) are changing the transportation ecosystem, but micro-decisions of drivers and users need to be better understood to assess the system-level impacts of TNCs. In this regard, we contribute to the literature by estimating a) individuals\' preferences of being a rider, a driver, or a non-user of TNC services; b) preferences of ridehailing users for ridepooling; c) TNC drivers\' choice to switch to vehicles with better fuel economy, and also d) the drivers\' decision to buy, rent or lease new vehicles with driving for TNCs being a major consideration. Elicitation of drivers\' preferences using a unique sample (N=11,902) of the U.S. population residing in TNC-served areas is the key feature of this study. The statistical analysis indicates that ridehailing services are mainly attracting personal vehicle users as riders, without substantially affecting demand for transit. Moreover, around 10% of ridehailing users reported postponing the purchase of a new car due to the availability of TNC services. The model estimation results indicate that the likelihood of being a TNC user increases with the increase in age for someone younger than 44 years, but the pattern is reversed post 44 years. This change in direction of the marginal effect of age is insightful as the previous studies have reported a negative association. We also find that postgraduate drivers who live in metropolitan regions are more likely to switch to fuel-efficient vehicles. These findings would inform transportation planners and TNCs in developing policies to improve the fuel economy of the fleet.

中文摘要：
运输网络公司（跨国公司）正在改变运输生态系统，但需要更好地了解司机和用户的微观决策，以评估跨国公司在系统层面的影响。在这方面，我们通过估计a）个人作为骑手、司机或非跨国公司服务使用者的偏好来对文献作出贡献；b） ridehailing用户对ridepooling的偏好；c） 跨国公司驾驶人选择改用燃油经济性更好的车辆，以及d）驾驶人购买、租赁或租赁新车的决定，其中跨国公司驾驶是主要考虑因素。本研究的主要特点是，使用居住在跨国公司服务地区的美国人口的唯一样本（N=11902）来推断驾驶员的偏好。统计分析表明，高架铁路服务主要吸引个人车辆用户作为乘客，而不会对公交需求产生实质性影响。此外，约10%的行车不便用户表示，由于TNC服务的可用性，他们推迟了购买新车的时间。模型估计结果表明，对于年龄小于44岁的人，成为跨国公司用户的可能性随着年龄的增长而增加，但44岁后的情况则相反。这种年龄边际效应方向的变化很有见地，因为之前的研究报告了负相关。我们还发现，居住在大都市地区的研究生司机更有可能改用省油汽车。这些调查结果将为运输规划师和跨国公司制定政策以提高车队的燃油经济性提供信息。
