Abstract:Millennials are the largest generation in the current U.S. population. Their travel preferences and choices have profound implications for travel industry and transportation policy-making. The existing literature, however, has presented mixed findings on whether Millennials differ from their preceding generations in vehicle usage, walking or biking, and transit riding. This study examines individuals’ modal shares of daily travel by Millennials, Generation X, and Baby Boomers across megaregions. Results of the study show the varying trends of modal shares in different life stages between generations. The varying trends of modal shares over the age spectrum across generations highlight the importance of having cohort-tailored initiatives to achieve sustainable transportation objectives. The study’s quantification of megaregional and generational variations on modal shares provides useful information for modal split analysis and other transportation planning practices at the level between states and metropolitan areas.
