Abstract

Changes in travel in Metropolitan Sydney that occurred in the decade 1971 to 1981 are examined. It shows how societal changes in the spatial distribution of the population and jobs, the structural changes in the composition of the workforce and changes in personal mobility have influenced choices of travel modes for the journey to work. This paper relates the observable changes in society to the mode choice for work trips and concludes that any attempts made to influence mode choice must be cognizant of the societal changes and their implications.
