How to get from Avalon to Berhampore: commuting and car ownership decisions in Wellington, NZ' presented by Toby Daglish on 15 May 2013

Abstract

Commuting decisions have major implications for government departments, city and regional councils, car dealers, petrol stations, and household pocket books. We use the NZ Household Travel Survey to explore the decisions made by households in Wellington regarding commuting mode (busing, training, driving, cycling or walking) and intensity of car ownership. Who are the people sitting bumper to bumper on the motorway, and who are the coves in sneakers walking down the hills each morning?
