Travel Behavior Research

Travel behavior research studies how and why people choose to move from one place to another. This includes examining factors like the mode of transportation they use—such as cars, public transit, or walking—as well as the influences of social, economic, and environmental factors on these choices. Researchers analyze travel patterns to understand trends, improve transportation systems, and promote sustainable practices. By understanding travel behavior, cities can better plan infrastructure, reduce congestion, and support public policies that enhance mobility and accessibility for everyone.
