Abstract
  • This study models the household demand for vehicle miles traveled with a focus on the effects from bicycle ridership and transit ridership. Through the use of data from the Oregon Household Activity Survey collected on behalf of the Oregon Department of Transportation, evidence is found that households participating in bicycle travel do not consider the price of driving or income when making vehicle travel decisions. The study also finds that for households using public transit, the distance traveled using transit is not significant in impacting a household's consumption of vehicle travel. The methods and results of this study provide a foundation for future vehicle and bicycle demand research and provide pertinent information to policy makers intending to alter driving behavior within the state of Oregon and elsewhere.
