Ridesourcing has experienced exponential growth in recent years, yet its impact on individual travel are unclear and have not been adequately examined. Recently, an Austin-based ridesourcing company released a large dataset containing disaggregate trip-level information. In this research, we use this new dataset in tandem with several publicly available data sources to estimate two models: a spatially lagged multivariate count model, which is used to describe how many trips are generated in a specific zone on both weekdays and weekend days; and a fractional split model, which helps us identify the characteristics of zones that attract ridesourcing trips. Our results show spatial dependence in ridesourcing trips among proximally located zones, as well as correlation between weekday and weekend day trips originating in a zone. Another interesting finding is the identification of a possible substitution effect between ridesourcing and transit use for weekday trips. Moreover, our results suggest that different income segments in the population may use ridesourcing for different activity purposes. From a travel behavior researcher perspective, the results in this paper identify aggregate area-level variables impacting ridesourcing, which can guide future efforts to better understand the demand for ridesourcing as well as the demand for autonomous and connected vehicles.
