Desire to change ones multimodality and its relationship to the use of different transport means.

Mobility patterns of employees of a French transportation institute and residents of the San Francisco bay area of USA were studied. The clusters that result showed some similarities and some differences across countries, where the latter are likely due to disparities in the sampling strategies and in the land use/transportation/cultural milieux. In both cases, however, the clusters have useful policy implications, enabling us, for example, to distinguish car users who might be inclined to reduce car use and increase transit use from those who are largely content with their current modal baskets.
