Conference Presentation – Travel Demand Management (TDM) 2025
This abstract presented at the TDM2025 Conference examines why active transport uptake remains low in car‑dependent settings despite supportive policies, focusing on how utilitarian, psychological and social factors shape travel behaviour and infrastructure preferences. Drawing on a large pilot survey of 2,000 participants in New South Wales, it investigates how individual contexts, attitudes and behaviours translate into different needs for walking and cycling infrastructure. The research uses advanced statistical and spatial analysis to identify where infrastructure gaps, attitudinal barriers, or both are limiting active travel. Its findings aim to inform more inclusive, context‑responsive active transport infrastructure that better supports diverse populations to choose active travel.
