Abstract:It has been discussed that the related behaviors and experiences – use of various transportation modes including driving, use of online shopping and technology-enabled delivery services, technology experiences, and needs around activities of daily living – may differ across people of different characteristics. For example, Garikapati et al. (2016) discussed how millennials may have different mobility patterns with driving and transportation use due to their technology exposures which are vastly different from older generations. Jones & Kashanchi (2019) discussed, in a report focused on grocery shopping, that while use of online grocery shopping is still relatively rare, demographic differences such as age, gender and family composition may be associated with adoption of related services. However, existing studies have focused mostly on how new technologies and services may be affecting traditional ways in their immediate domains. However, it is likely that, in the future, cross-domain effects may be observed and will need to be better understood. In this two-part study, adults in the United States were surveyed to better understand their current use of technology or service alternatives to transportation, and how use of such services may be impacting their transportation patterns. In the first study, a large-scale online survey was conducted to understand how people may be using new modes of shopping and service delivery, and what the drivers of their use are. In the second study, a group of people were asked specifically about their transportation needs in association with typical activities they are doing, and how use of various services is impacting their transportation needs and patterns. Taking the possible differences in transportation and service use between people of various characteristics into account, both parts of this study collected information on demographics and mobility needs to allow comparisons.
