The journey to work in Melbourne

Abstract

Governments have publicly committed to reversing the trend to car use on many occasions over past decades, but with little apparent success. In order to understand the reasons behind the apparent lack of progress, it is first necessary to examine changes in travel mode over time and possible reasons for these changes. Although this study restricts itself to analysing the work trip in Melbourne over the past half century, the findings have relevance for other Australian capital cities, given that in all these cities, the car has also replaced alternative modes as the dominant form of travel to work. Further, our findings can provide insights into what is needed to encourage more use of environmentally friendly travel modes for other urban travel trip types.
