Activities, Time, and Travel: Changes in Women's Travel Time Expenditures, 1990-2000

This study examines the constancy and change in total travel time expenditures of women and men in the San Francisco Bay Area across the 10-year period from 1990 to 2000. The data sets analyzed are the 1990 and 2000 Bay Area Travel Surveys. Total travel time expenditures for women and men are examined across various sociodemographic and household attributes including age, race and ethnicity, employment status, and household life-cycle category. The results show that for both women and men, reported daily travel time expenditures increased significantly from 1990 to 2000. In addition, the results show that for some subgroups of women and men, differences in travel time expenditures have equalized from 1990 to 2000, whereas differences between other subgroups have increased.
