Title: Multimodal travel and the poor: evidence from the 2009 National Household Travel Survey
Abstract: Most travel behavior studies focus on discrete mode-choice outcomes. They predict the likelihood of traveling by a single mode (e.g. solo driving, carpooling, taking public transit, walking, and biking). Yet qualitative studies focusing on low-income households suggest that their mode choice does not fit neatly into a single category; they regularly "transportation package," use multiple modes of travel in a single day. The authors use data from the 2009 National Household Travel Summary to examine the extent to which individuals' engage in multimodal travel and to determine whether low-income individuals transportation package more than higher-income individuals, controlling for other factors.
