Quantifying aggregate-level telework occasions and their impacts on vehicle-miles traveled in the US
Using marker statements to impute attitudes
This paper is one in a series of studies designed to investigate the practicality of including attitudes as explanatory variables in practice-oriented travel demand forecasting models. In this study, we respectively applied random forest (RF) and elastic net regression (ENR) to 15 marker variables (MVs), to predict factor scores on four attitudes: pro-car ownership, pro-non-car alternatives, pro-suburban, and urbanite. To demonstrate the efficacy…
How will people spend travel time in autonomous vehicles? A four-region study focusing on heterogeneous preferences
This study investigates heterogeneous preferences for in-vehicle activities in autonomous vehicles (AVs). Using a rich survey dataset (N = 3,376) collected across four regions in the southern United States between June 2019 and March 2020, and weighted to represent the study population, latent-class cluster analysis (LCCA) was conducted. This analysis identifies latent classes with distinct combinations of preferred in-vehicle activities, separat…
A Conservation of Resources theory-based framework for studying the commute experience
A note on the sample selection (switching regression) model and treatment effects for a log-transformed outcome variable, in the context of residential self-selection
Combining disparate surveys across time to study satisfaction with life
Satisfaction with life is a self-reported measure of the quality of life that has become a critical societal indicator extensively used for the evaluation and comparison of a wide range of trends and policies. This study fuses five cross-sectional travel surveys conducted from 1992 to 2018 across various geographical locations in California. Using the fused sample, we develop generalized ordered logit models to examine the effects of demographic …
Response willingness in consecutive travel surveys
Declining survey response rates have increased the costs of travel survey recruitment. Recruiting respondents based on their expressed willingness to participate in future surveys, obtained from a preceding survey, is a potential solution but may exacerbate sample biases. In this study, we analyze the self-selection biases of survey respondents recruited from the 2017 U.S. National Household Travel Survey (NHTS), who had agreed to be contacted ag…

What drives the gap? Applying the Blinder–Oaxaca decomposition method to examine generational differences in transportation-related attitudes
Considerable recent work suggests that Millennials’ behaviors may be converging with those of Generation X as they enter later life stages, but few have investigated whether attitudes, which are often strong predictors of behavior, are undergoing the same convergence. In this study, we analyze the existing generational gap in four transportation-related attitudes ( currently pro-urban, long - term pro-urban, pro-car ownership, and pro-environment…
Do millennials value travel time differently because of productive multitasking? A revealed-preference study of Northern California commuters
Millennials, the demographic cohort born in the last two decades of the twentieth century, are reported to adopt information and communication technologies (ICTs) in their everyday lives, including travel, to a greater extent than older generations. As ICT-driven travel-based multitasking influences travelers’ experience and satisfaction in various ways, millennials are expected to be affected at a greater scale. Still, to our knowledge, no previ…

Which Came First, the Telecommuting or the Residential Relocation? An Empirical Analysis of Causality
Researchers have questioned whether the ability to telecommute is encouraging workers to relocate to more desirable residences farther from work, and in doing so, exacerbate sprawl and increase their net vehicle-miles traveled. The research presented here directly asks, is telecommuting a "friend or foe" of travel-reducing policies? Given that telecommuters tend to have longer commutes than non-telecommuters, is the ability to telecommute prompti…

Telecommuting, Residential Location, and Commute-Distance Traveled
This study analyzes retrospective data on telecommuting and residential and job location changes over a ten-year period, from 218 employees (62 current telecommuters, 35 former telecommuters, and 121 people who had never telecommuted) of six California state government agencies which had actively participated in the well-known pilot program of 1988-90. We compare estimates of the total commute person-miles traveled by telecommuters with those of …
A Synthetic Approach to Estimating the Impacts of Telecommuting on Travel
A multiplicative model is proposed as a framework for examining the current knowledge in forecasting the demand for telecommuting and the resulting transport impacts. A running illustrative example (containing a base and a future case) is developed, using plausible values for each factor in the model. The base case suggests that 6.1 per cent of the workforce may be currently telecommuting, with 1.5 per cent doing so on any given day, eliminating …
The Seoul of Alonso
Although theoretical studies have contended that telecommuting could cause residential relocation to peripheral areas, empirical evidence regarding this argument is scant and inconclusive. Moreover, previous studies have given little consideration to telecommuters' job locations. Using data from the 2006 Seoul Metropolitan Area Household Travel Survey, this study investigates the relationships between telecommuting and residential location, consi…
Modeling the Choice of Telecommuting
In this paper a conceptual model of the individual decision to telecommute is presented. Key elements of that decision, including constraints, facilitators, and drives, are defined and the relationships among them described. The major types of constraints (if negative) or facilitators (if positive) include external factors related to awareness, the organization, and the job, and internal psychosocial factors. The major types of drives are work, f…
Cross-Sectional and Quasi-Panel Explorations of the Connection between the Built Environment and Auto Ownership
Auto ownership is a critical mediating link in the connection between the built environment and travel behavior: the built environment presumably influences auto ownership, which in turn impacts travel behavior. However, the way in which individual elements of the built environment affect auto-ownership choices is far from understood. Further, residential self-selection may confound the interaction between the built environment and auto ownership…
Modeling the Choice of Telecommuting
A conceptual model of the choice to telecommute was advanced in an earlier paper. In this paper we present empirical data from a nonrepresentative sample of 628 City of San Diego employees on key variables and relationships in that model. The relationships among possibility, preference, and choice are examined. A key finding is the existence of a large group of people (57% of the sample) for whom telecommuting is a preferred impossible alternativ…
Understanding the Demand for Travel
We contest the derived demand paradigm for travel as a behavioural absolute. To the contrary, we suggest that travel has an intrinsic positive utility and is valued for its own sake, not just as a means of reaching a destination. We argue that the same positive characteristics that lead people to engage in travel as a recreational activity in itself are likely to motivate them to engage in apparently excess travel in the context of their mandator…

Modeling the Choice of Telecommuting
In previous papers in this series we have presented a conceptual model of the individual decision to telecommute and explored relationships among constraints, preference, and choice. In a related paper we developed a binary model of the preference for home-based telecommuting. Noting that there is a wide gap between preferring to telecommute (88% of the sample) and actually telecommuting (13%), in this paper we develop binary logit models of tele…

A Methodology for the Disaggregate, Multidimensional Measurement of Residential Neighbourhood Type
Binary designation of a residential neighbourhood as either traditional or suburban is a distortion of reality, since a location may have some characteristics of both types and since residents in different parts of the neighbourhood may perceive its character differently. This paper presents and applies a methodology for assessing neighbourhood type that results in a measure that is continuous rather than binary, disaggregate rather than aggregat…
A Comparison of the Policy, Social, and Cultural Contexts for Telecommuting in Japan and the United States
Active experimentation with telecommuting in both the United States and Japan is among the most extensive in the world. However, policy, social, and cultural distinctions result in some important differences in the way telecommuting is adopted by each country. This paper presents a comparison of the policy, social, and cultural contexts for telecommuting in Japan and the United States. An overview of various types of telecommuting and remote offi…

The impact of residential neighborhood type on travel behavior
Telecommunications and Travel
This article examines the conceptual, theoretical, and empirical evidence with respect to the impact of telecommunications on travel. The primary focus is on passenger travel, but goods movement is addressed briefly. I argue that although direct, short‐term studies focusing on a single application (such as telecommuting) have often found substitution effects, such studies are likely to miss the more subtle, indirect, and longer‐term complementari…
Patterns of Telecommuting Engagement and Frequency
Cluster analysis of sign-in log data for 115 users of California telecenters was conducted to identify patterns of telecommuting engagement and frequency over a six-month window. Three engagement clusters were identified: Persisters, Decliners, and Dabblers. Four frequency clusters were identified, classified as Low, Medium, High, and Erratic. Nearly half of the Persisters belonged to the Low Frequency cluster, highlighting the need to count not …

The Extent and Determinants of Dissonance between Actual and Preferred Residential Neighborhood Type
Although households' general preference for low-density residential environments is well documented in the literature, little research in geography and urban planning has explicitly investigated how many and which households experience a state of mismatch in terms of land-use patterns between their preferred residential neighborhood type and the type of neighborhood where they currently reside. Using data from 1358 commuters living in three commu…

Self-Selection in the Relationship between the Built Environment and Walking
Available evidence establishes correlations between the built environment and walking, but not a causal relationship, leading researchers to debate whether “self-selection” explains the observed correlations: do residents who prefer to walk choose to live in more walkable neighborhoods? Using data from a survey of residents of eight neighborhoods in Northern California, this article presents new evidence on the possibility of a causal relationshi…
