Project Title:
  Trip Chaining Behavior of Senior Travelers & Applications to Public Transportation Planning
Start Date: 8/16/2008
End Date: 12/31/2009
Summary of Project:
  This project is an extension to a recently completed ICT project (R27-17). A portion of respondents recruited in R27-17 project who agreed to participate in a follow up study will be surveyed. We utilize GPS-based trajectories of seniors’ travel patterns and trip chaining behavior followed by an activity/travel recall interview with the goal to understand their underlying travel/activity scheduling process.
Objective of Project:
  The main objective of this study is to conduct a survey of travel/activity scheduling behavior of senior citizens in Chicago region to better understand their trip chaining behavior.
Expected Outcome:
  The results can be used to plan more efficient transit services targeting senior travelers and to change their attitude toward public transportation. The study findings can also help transportation and transit agencies to further promote effective transportation solutions for an aging population.
