Abstract
More than half the amount of passenger kilometers and more than 40% of car kilometers is related to free time traffic. So, free time car traffic causes a substantial part of the problems related to car use. Based on characteristics of free time traffic, research has been undertaken to study the possibilities for reducing car use for leisure purposes. Measures can be taken that will affect the generation of trips, the distribution (which affects the distances in relation to individual trips) and the modal choice. The measures can be based on changing habits, costs, quality of car infrastructure and other modes and the assignment of 'free time traffic shares'.
