Abstract:This study informs stakeholders in air quality and transportation by highlighting the aggregate behavior of travelers during periods of area-wide air pollution, such as that caused by wintertime inversions, summertime ozone, or wildfire smoke. These findings are especially relevant for efforts to affect changes in travel and other health-related behaviors through air quality alerts. Overall, there was more evidence for “risk averse” reactions than for “altruistic” travel behavior changes, suggesting that newer or stronger policies may be needed in order to reduce driving and encourage more sustainable and healthful travel behavior changes in regions when faced with periods of area-wide poor air quality.
