The behavioral impacts of energy shortage : shifts in trip-making characteristics. Paper prepared for the 55th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board TRB, Washington, D.C., January 1976.

This study analyzes shifts in trip-making behaviour coincident with the energy shortage. The study suggests the following (1) aggregate trip-making shifts differ from shifts by income level; (2) although aggregate trip frequency declined.,+ low income respondents reported no changes in trip frequency; (3) although there was no aggregate shift in the use of the auto-driver mode, low-income respondents significantly reduced auto-driving; and (4) aggregate shopping trip frequency decreased but low-income respondents reported unchanged trip purpose distribution.
