Abstract: Over the past decade research into urban travel patterns has increasingly emphasised two aspects: first, the relationship between travel and the accessibility of trip destinations, and second, the distinct travel patterns of people with different demographic characteristics and places of residence. The present paper analyses Sydney area transportation study data in order to compare actual trip distances with the minimum distances necessary to accomplish each major trip purpose given the then urban layout. It also presents travel distance and travel time budgets for six population groups by four regions of residence. The six groups are household heads, wives and children each divided into those at work and those not at work (a). (TRRL)
