Abstract:The primary purpose of this project is to analyze transportation planning and travel behavior in the small urban area of Chittenden County, Vermont. The 2000, 2006, 2012, and 2018 travel surveys conducted for the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission serve as the primary data sources. This survey series was designed to collect information from the public about transportation attitudes as well as priorities for regional transportation planning investments. We use cluster analysis to segment travelers into three modal orientations – Alternative Oriented, Car Tolerant, and Car Oriented – based on eight factors: 1. Would Change Travel Behavior with Change in Conditions 2. Perceive Car as Only Option 3. Concerned with Congestion, Safety, and Environmental Impacts 4. Transit/Bike/Walk Enthusiast 5. Prioritized Highway Improvements 6. Prioritizes General Roadway Improvements 7. Prioritizes Incentives for Alternatives 8. Prioritizes Improvements for Transit, Biking, and Walking.
