“…Gender has been recognised as one of the primary predictors of travel difficulties, mainly in advanced-age women rather than men, indicating that mobility opportunities and limitations are unequally experienced in society, resulting in a dramatic impact on medical, family, and social activities of PWDS (Pourhashem et al, 2019). Generally, gender is associated with other parameters limiting people's mobility, such as ageing, deficient health status, low socio-economic status, lack of access to transport resources, and lack of motivation (Özcan et al, 2021).…”

The present empirical study aims to determine the key factors influencing the travel intention of persons with disabilities who live across the Tungurahua Province, Ecuador. A cross-sectional survey was conducted between September 2019 and mid-March 2020, and collected 473 valid questionnaires containing critical components of the medical and social models of disability. Collected data were quantitatively analysed with multiple regression analysis. Results showed that some crucial elements of the social model of disability (i.e., socio-demographic features and destination quality dimensions) and an element of the medical model of disability (i.e., dependency or need of other persons) significantly affect the travel intentions of persons with disabilities (p<0.001). Findings allowed to conceptualise a new theoretical framework to potentially address and solve accessible and inclusive issues of persons with disabilities from Tungurahua Province-Ecuador and other international nations with similar natural and cultural attractions.

Women and men often do not experience equal mobility opportunities in their societies. Increasingly, gender is being recognized to play a significant role in transport planning, particularly for addressing individual mobility needs in urban and rural areas. By understanding the link between male and female travelers’ preferences, perceived values, and travel behavior, as well as experienced barriers, transport systems could be better tailored to women’s activities and mobility needs by putting the women’s perspective on center stage. Therefore, the objective of this paper is twofold: (1) to perform an in-depth analysis of women’s and men’s travel behavior to scrutinize the difference in perception of the value of travel time derived from travel experience using various transport modes and (2) to identify the significant factors influencing men and women’s travel behavior in terms of transport mode choice. The empirical analysis is based on a multinomial regression model of 1406 female travelers and 1486 male travelers in eight European countries. In regard to the subjective values associated with users’ perception of travel time worthwhileness, this research implies that the perception of enjoyable travel time and the perceived mood from the travel experience would increase the tendency of ridesharing and using private motorized modes of transport as a passenger among women. Results also demonstrate that women have a higher perception of the worthwhileness of travel time for walking compared to men using bicycle and micro-mobility systems and private motorized vehicles as a driver. Regarding public transport, a significant difference in the perceived worthwhileness of travel time between female and male users of public transport in the European urban areas was also discovered.

Women and men often do not experience equal mobility opportunities in their societies. Increasingly gender is being recognised to play a significant role in transport planning, particularly for addressing individual mobility needs in urban and rural areas. Recent advances in studying mobility behaviours (e.g., data collection through smartphone apps) also allow capturing data on activities done while travelling, as well as factors enhancing or degrading the people's travel experience. By understanding the link between female travellers' preferences, perceived values and behaviour, as well as experienced barriers, transport systems could be better tailored to women activity and mobility needs by putting the women perspective in centre stage. The objective of this paper is to present how the "Mobility and Time Value" (MoTiV) H2020 project addresses mobility value preposition differences across genders and generations in connection with cultural and social contexts in 8 EU countries.
