The introduction of Light Rail Transit system in Addis Ababaâ€™s existing road corridors has anrnadvantage of reducing the demand for vehicles but it will induce additional delays to pedestriansrnand passengers mobility due to intervals of LRT crosswalks distance.rnThe major purpose of this research was to analyze the effects of introducing LRT system in urbanrntransport design on pedestrians and public transport usersâ€™ travel distance and time to crossrncrossways of LRT. The study had two objectives; quantifying walking parameters (walkingrndistance and time) to crossways and testing the effect of LRT system on these parameters whenrnwalking is used as a primary mode and/or an access mode to public transport.rnThe LRT crossway user survey was conducted by randomly distributing questionnaires to arnsample of 98 pedestrians and passengers at different places who cross through LRT crossways.rnCollected crossway user survey includes; access mode choices, trip origins destinations (O-D),rnnumber of cross trip per day and type of LRT crossways. Geometric data of crossways, Videornsurveys, pedestrian and traffic count was also conducted to analyze waiting time and crosswayrncoverage rate (crossway areas).rnWalking Distance and Time were analyzed for both scenarios i.e. before and after LRTrnconstruction. A statistical comparison was then conducted by paired t-test and p-value torndetermine the significance of the effect on mobility parameters. It is found that the introductionrnof LRT would increase walking distance and time to sampled pedestrians by 580.2m and 9min inrna round trip. The increase distance and time in total O-D trips per day would be 752.2 m/dayrnand 11.4 min/day. The paired t-test test statistic 9.759 greater than 1.663 the critical value andrnp-value 2.78*10-16less than 0.05 the significant level, there has been increase in distance due tornLRT constructed or introduced. Overall additional average walking distance to total O-D tripsrnper day is 752.2 m/day: the additional median walking distance is 568.5 m, with 25% of tripsrnless than 321.5 m and 75% of walking trips less than 919.5 m.rnMean and Standard deviation of walking distance were calculated to determine which stationrnposed the longest travel distance to users. The longest travel distance to a station crossway wasrnobserved at station East West two (EW2) with a mean distance of 809.7m in a round trip andrn1127.6m/day in total O-D trips per day. While the shortest travel distance was at station EastrnWest six (EW6) with a mean distance of 108.6m in round trip and/or total O-D trips per day. Itrnwas found that a grand mean of 394.3m and 6.1 min and 485.6m and 7.3 min of additional travelrndistance and time was induced on users to access each LRT crossings in a round trip and totalrnO-D trips per day respectively. Overall additional grand mean walking distance to access/reachrnon LRT crossways of EW1 to EW8 crossways in total O-D trips per day is 485.6 m/day: thernadditional median walking distance is 395.84 m, with 25% of trips less than 262 m and 75% ofrnwalking trips less than 785 m. Walking distance to different mode choices was also quantifiedrnusing mean and standard deviation. Accordingly, walk trip mode choice would be more affectedrnby LRT system.rnIt is finally concluded that introducing LRT affects both pedestrians and public transport usersâ€™rnmobility by creating walk distance increment, time delay and mode choice delay. It isrnrecommended that affordable overpass bridges, pedestrian refuge area and integrate otherrntransit locations with LRT crossways can potentially reduce the impact.rnKeywords: Light Rail Transit, O-D trip, Walk distance, Walk time, Paired t-test, Mode choice
