“…In this study, we also include age, gender, and income as control variables. Regional characteristics are used in this study, which was also the case in the previous studies [5,7,8,14]. In the present study, the changes of work places or home locations were used, which were also found in previous studies [8,[16][17][18][19].…”

“…Fujii et al have studied whether there is a change in choice of modes when habitual drivers are given one-month free coupons for public transportation [13]. There is a study on the effects of the voluntary behavioral change program in Denmark before and after implementation [14]. And there is a study by González et al that conducted the before and after stated preference/revealed preference survey of the same person when a tram was built and operated in Spain [15].…”

The existence of state dependence derived from panel data has played a very important role in studying employment and labor policies. This study is about state dependence of the transportation sector using retrospective panel survey data. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of Korea has conducted the survey to monitor changes in vehicle ownership and usage nationwide and to prepare measures when oil prices tend to rise sharply. From this data, we identify the existence of state dependence on passenger cars, public transportation, and nonmotorized modes. To do this, we estimate and analyze the dynamic random effects probit model that explains the selection of each transportation mode after controlling for the unobserved individual heterogeneity.Our results indicate that despite the rise of oil prices, behavior of habitual use (i.e., state dependence) of transportation modes is found in all three modes. The amount of state dependence of nonmotorized modes was the largest, followed by passenger cars and public transportation. From the estimated models, important policy implications can be drawn from the fact that the presence of state dependence and the importance of early habit formation are important not only in nonmotorized modes but also in public transportation. In other words, if policy makers want to encourage people to use public transportation in a new city, it suggests that a sufficient and convenient public transportation network should be built before people move to the city. Once cities are built without sufficient public transportation networks and people have become accustomed to using private cars, then it will be more difficult to change their transportation modes, requiring much more social efforts and costs.

“…He found an average reduction of 11% in car driver trips and an average increase of 3 percentage points in walking and 1 percentage point in cycling. In Italy, Meloni et al [8] tested PTP in the context of a project to motivate drivers to use park-and-drive. After the implementation of the plan, a reduction of 10% in one-person car trips was achieved.…”

“…Before-and-after panel surveys, in which the same individuals provide information regarding the characteristics of their travel behaviour before and after the implementation of a TBCP, are better than repeated cross-sectional samples, because it is easier to identify significant effects using information provided by the same people over time [26]. Recent examples of the utilization of before-and-after panel surveys to evaluate TBCP interventions are Hsieh et al [50], Sunio et al [51] and Meloni et al [8]. On the other hand, there are some studies that included panels consisting on one survey before and two or more survey waves after the implementation of the TBCP, which facilitates the identification of medium-long term effects [52,53].…”

“…Evaluations of TBCP based on soft transport actions like Personal Travel Planning (PTP), travel feedback programs and persuasion strategies, reported significant reductions of car use [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. In contrast, other programs based on the use of incentives to promote a reduction of car use has not had success in the past [13,14].…”

Effects of a Travel Behaviour Change Program on Sustainable Travel

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The main objective of the present study is to analyse the effect of a Travel Behaviour Change Program (TBCP) based on health improvement actions, in relation to a potential for an increase in walking and cycling, with reference to particular groups of people defined according to sociodemographics. A TBCP consisting of three persuasion actions based on health improvements was planned and executed in Valencia (Spain). A two-wave panel survey was used to study the effects of taking part in the TBCP. The panel survey collected data related to activity-travel scheduling process before and after the execution of the TBCP. To study the influence of participating in the TBCP, respondents were separated into two groups: those directly implicated in the TBCP and those who were not involved in any action (CG), which were formed on the basis of sociodemographic similarity. We developed descriptive and explanatory analyses and predictive models, to study the effect of the TBCP with reference to particular groups of people defined according to sociodemographics. Results indicate that being involved in the TBCP affects more males than females, those who share their household and do not live with their parents during weekdays, those with lower car availability, those willing to reduce car use and students. Several implications for research and transport policy are derived from these results.
