A STUDY OF FACTORS AFFECTING TRAVEL BEHAVIOUR AND TRANSPORTATION ATTITUDES AMONG YOUNG ADULTS

A 1976 survey of third- and fourth-year undergraduates at two Toronto universities provides the data base for an extensive analysis of factors underlying transportation behaviour and transportation-related attitudes among young adults. The study examines how behaviour and attitudes are affected by early transportation experience, "automobiliy," quality of available transit service, socio-economic circumstances and variations in urban structure. Its conclusions draw on the statistical analysis and on the transportation attitudes and policy preferences expressed by study participants to address important concerns for future urban transportation policy. /Author/
