Abstract:

The rapid increase in private car ownership and its usage has resulted in traffic congestion on road infrastructure in Lahore city. It is very important to explore the potential of some travel demand management policies under local socio-economic context. This paper aims to explore the influence of situational constraints and public transport incentives on acceptability of car use restrictions. A questionnaire survey was conducted in Lahore city to obtain the required data. Data was analyzed using structural equation modeling technique. Results revealed that situational constraints and public transport incentives have significant influence on people’s travel behavior and acceptability of mobility restrictions on car use. The findings of this study would be useful for local planners in making decision regarding transit improvements and implementing car use reduction measures.
