A sizeable body of literature reveals a strong relationship between mode choice and health status. Therefore, society would benefit from travel if transportation and urban planners motivated more individuals to satisfy their desire for travel by active transportation rather than motorized transportation. Despite rich existing literature about the relations between the built environment and travel, we still need to address some research gaps in explaining travel mode choice. As a shortcoming, identifying and measuring the primary motivations for trips, and then incorporating such motivations into travel mode choice modelling, has received less attention in previous research. In this regard the current paper follows two main goals. It aims to differentiate between trips by determining the main utility of travelers and then analyzes the impact of the built environment measurements and subjective attributes on mode choice decision. Using data from a survey of 515 participants who reside in Isfahan, Iran, we conducted a series of binary logistic models to explore how the built environment influences mode choice decisions for different trips, controlling for socio-economics and subjective attributes. The results show that the number of hedonic trips were sizably more than utilitarian trips. It was found that travel mode choice for utilitarian and hedonic trips is influenced by travel habits and subjective attitudes, but the built environment also matters. Specifically, two built environment characteristics, including density and diversity, can substitute walking/cycling for driving for utilitarian trips. In addition, car use for hedonic trips is not influenced by built environment measurements. It seems that the utility and desire of hedonic driving depends on mode of travel. It is concluded that driving and walking/biking for hedonic and utilitarian trips are not single behaviors and differentiating between trips according to their main utility and considering both objective and subjective attributes helps urban and transportation planners prescribe appropriate spatial and nonspatial strategies to encourage walking/biking.

A growing number of researchers have investigated the role of key factors that affect transport mode choice. Scant studies, however, have tried to incorporate the built environment factors at origin and destination, weather condition, departure time, and different trip purposes into mode choice models. To address these shortcomings, we developed four multinomial logit (MNL) models to analyze travel mode choice decision for different purposes in the context of a developing country, Iran. Travel data drawn from household travel survey conducted by Isfahan Municipality in 2015 and weather parameters were retrieved from five stations located inside the city. The results of models reveal some important insights. While entropy index and average block size strongly influence transport mode decisions, other built environment factors have weak associations with transport modes. Further, low temperature and low relative humidity decrease the probability of transit, motorcycle and bicycle usage over automobile. The impact of weather condition on discretionary trips is stronger than that of work trips. Apart from mentioned variables, socio-demographic characteristics and departure time of travel are other important variables. Findings of this paper indicate that nonphysical strategies in tandem with land use policies should be considered based on local condition.

Most previous studies have mainly focused on utilitarian or recreational walking and discussed their relationship with the built environment. The point is that most of these studies have not been sensitive to the motivation of trips while travel is a complicated behavior and individuals may have different degrees of motivation and utility for a given trip purpose. Accordingly, because of different utilities of travel, it is more likely that the built environment differently affects walking behavior. This paper aims to clearly distinguish between utilitarian and hedonic walking and then explores how the built environment influences walking behavior. Using data collected from 863 respondents in six diverse neighborhoods in Isfahan, Iran, we developed negative binomial models for two types of walking; namely, utilitarian and hedonic walking. The results reveal some interesting insights: first, both models of walking confirm that neighborhood preferences do not play any important role in explaining walking behavior in our context, inconsistent with previous studies. Second, the objective and perceived built environment factors differently contribute to explaining both types of walking. In this regard, utilitarian walking is affected by mixed land use, residential density, facility accessibility, attractiveness, and walking infrastructure; and hedonic walking is influenced by mixed land use, attractiveness and safety. Third, attitudinal factors and socio-demographic variables also differently appear in the models of walking. The results confirm that it is essential to be more sensitive to the motivation of trips, and suggest a clear policy implication: the individuals’ reactions toward policies intended to increase walking frequency depend partly on the utility for walking.

International audienceFor a number of years, French local authorities have been pursuing special pricing policies designed to help the most disadvantaged social groups. Schemes vary in different cities, as do the criteria for determining the beneficiaries. This paper shows, however, that notwithstanding the scale of the agreed efforts, the policies' effectiveness has, on the whole, been limited. In addition to the transit system failing to cater to the needs of some segments of the population, low-income workers and the non-registered unemployed remain excluded from the subsidized pricing schemes

Résumé English The current context of increasing social and spatial disparities raises the issue of universal accessibility to the city and its services, in particular for low incomes persons. The issue of inequality with regard to travel, which we have considered first of all at an aggregate level using the usual travel indicators (number of trips, distance covered, travel time budget), essentially comes down to inequality in access to the car. An analysis of recent changes in urban public transport pricing policy and a survey conducted within welfare and social integration agencies in the conurbations of Lyon, Nancy and Nantes have been used to obtain a more accurate qualitative and quantitative picture of transport difficulties. Keywords France daily travel low income population inequality public transport pricing policy transport assistance
