From university to work life – Jumping behind the wheel? Explaining mode change of students making the transition to professional life

Annika Busch-Geertsema and Martin Lanzendorf

Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 2017, vol. 106, issue C, 181-196

Abstract: This paper examines the mode use of students before and after starting their working lives and analyses the influencing factors. We aim to improve our understanding of travel behaviour change based on a theoretical framework extending the Theory of Planned Behaviour (ToPB), namely the Requirements, Opportunities, Abilities (ROA) approach, and the concept of habits and key events. The paper focuses on (i) how former university students adjust their travel behaviour when their working life starts and (ii) what are the most important factors explaining these changes.
