Abstract:

Although there has been considerable discussion about how telecommunications will affect the demand for transportation, most studies have focused on substituting telecommunications for transportation. For example, telephone and video conferencing can replace travel for meetings; electronic mail can replace postal service. More importantly, people can telecommute part-time or full-time using telcommunications instead of traveling to work. There are many other examples of reducing or eliminating travel by telecommunicating, but what may not be as obvious is how telecommunications stimulates travel. (12 p.)
