“…Households of limited mean particularly in developing cities have fewer choices in both where they can afford to live and how they can travel. In this regard, [11] conclude that low-income adults are more likely to travel regularly by public transit, while public transit use for commuting and jobsearching purposes corresponds with an inability of low-income adults to access a vehicle and having poor or limited local bus service. Similarly, transport attributes such as travel cost and trip distance as well as external factors such as urban form and land use, and socio-demographic characteristics are all critical determinants of transport mode choice.…”

Effective urban transportation no doubt serves as engine room and catalyst for driving national economic development. Significantly, the purpose of urban transport is to provide both passenger and freight mobility over specific parts of urban areas including cities, and its efficiency is characterized upon transporting effectively and achieving economies of scale. Hence, this study examined intra-city mobility and characterization in Lagos, Nigeria. The data was sourced from both primary and secondary sources. Primary data detailed the use of two sets of questionnaires administered to commuters and motorists. 182 copies of questionnaire were randomly administered to commuters, while 60 units of the questionnaire were purposively and conveniently administered to motorists. Descriptive and inferential techniques were used for data analysis. Major findings revealed obvious variations in socio-economic parameters of intra-city trip makers and factors influencing trip making. It was observed that journey to work, school, shopping cum business constituted the major trips characterizing in Lagos. Findings also revealed that high patronage priority was given to most used and preferred means due to vehicle travel speed, trip purpose, and availability than safety and comfortability of modal choice. Regression analysis result revealed that commuters’ modal choice and patronage is statistically influenced by operational attributes of mode (e.g. transit time, delay duration, safety, vehicle condition and transit fare etc.) at Sig. p=0.000 and F14165 15.667 which is greater than table value at 5% significant level. The study recommended among others the formulation and implementation of effective policy for urban transport activities; standardization of service operations and expansion of infrastructural facilities including the last-mile in the city.

“…Considerable variation across the studies is found, ranging from 12% to 415% of the published ITE rates. Much research has highlighted this issue, given the extensive range of site-based contextual variables that can influence vehicle trip generation estimates ( 11 , 30 , 60 , 73 , 104 , 109 , 110 ). However, across all of the studies, the weighted average was remarkably close at 95% to 104% of the published ITE rates, although this reduced to 79% to 104% when excluding non-U.S. studies from the sample (see Table 3).…”

Multimodal Trip Generation from Land Use Developments: International Synthesis and Future Directions

Trip generation estimates are integral to assessing the transport impacts of land use developments. However, past efforts have predominantly focused on vehicle trips only. This paper provides an international literature review of multimodal trip generation associated with land use developments. A total of 153 publications were sourced as relevant to the review. The results show that although multimodal trip generation studies have been relatively scant, they have received greater attention in the last 10 years. A range of issues was identified with estimating and applying multimodal trip generation rates, not least was a lack of sufficient data and higher complexity in data collection compared with vehicle trip generation studies. Current knowledge gaps highlight opportunities to move toward greater international coordination and sharing of multimodal trip generation data, along with exploring the use of technology to assist with data collection. Key directions for the future include a fundamental change in paradigm to consistently account for multimodal trip generation, the development of an international multimodal trip generation database, and greater sensitivity testing in assessing the multimodal impacts of new land use developments.

“…These efforts can further bolster the collection and evaluation of development-level bicycle parking supply and demand, transportation demand management strategies, or other parking management mechanisms. Once enough local trip making data is compiled, cities and developers can use these trip rates as alternatives or supplements to ITE’s data for TIAs ( 7, 11, 48 ). Surveys targeting developers or property managers can also aid the task of collecting parking supply and pricing information for existing developments.…”

“…Once travelers transition into retirement, they begin to travel less overall and by car—older women more so than older men ( 46 ). Individuals in married households travel by car less per person, chaining errands and trips together more often ( 45, 47 ), although single-person households travel less overall compared with larger households ( 48 ). Children under twelve seem to have a differential impact on household travel, particularly for women ( 49 ).…”

“…Children under twelve seem to have a differential impact on household travel, particularly for women ( 49 ). More travel is observed overall with increasing household size ( 48 ) and, thus, measures of dwelling size (e.g., number of bedrooms or square footage) can be a strong proxy for household size ( 12, 50 ), although few development-level studies capture this ( 41 ).…”

Although there exists a well-studied relationship between parking policies and automobile demand, conventional practices evaluating the transportation impacts of new land development tend to ignore this. In this paper, we: (a) explore literature linking parking policies and vehicle use (including vehicle trip generation, vehicle miles traveled [VMT], and trip length) through the lens of development-level evaluations (e.g., transportation impact analyses [TIA]); (b) develop a conceptual map linking development-level parking characteristics and vehicle use outcomes based on previously supported theory and frameworks; and (c) evaluate and discuss the conventional approach to identify the steps needed to operationalize this link, specifically for residential development. Our findings indicate a significant and noteworthy dearth of studies incorporating parking constraints into travel behavior studies—including, but not limited to: parking supply, costs or pricing, and travel demand management strategies such as the impacts of (un)bundled parking in housing costs. Disregarding parking in TIAs ignores a significant indicator in automobile use. Further, unconstrained parking may encourage increases in car ownership, vehicle trips, and VMT in areas with robust alternative-mode networks and accessibility, thus creating greater demand for vehicle travel than would otherwise occur. The conceptual map offers a means for operationalizing the links between: the built environment; socio-economic and demographic characteristics; fixed and variable travel costs; and vehicle use. Implications for practice and future research are explored.
