Abstract: The information regarding travel behavior of the citizen and understanding why they are making any particular choice in their trip making is gaining vital importance in shaping the traffic management system in any city efficient and competent. Travel behavior pattern of the citizens could have both negative and positive influences on the sustainability issue of any transport system. This paper focuses on the steps of the transport demand model with two types of information- demographic information and travel data. Information regarding trip generation, the pattern of trip variation with housing types, modal choices for various purposes along with changes in income variation of citizens in Khulna City were explored using statistical tools and` techniques, and trip distribution modeling was done to find out the factors affecting the trip making behavior. The findings showed that there is present a salubrious relationship between the income level of the people and their mode preferences. However, the total number of trips has influenced mostly by the income of the households where housing condition has a negative impact on the trips produced. Vehicle ownership and family size do not have that much effect on the number of trips generated. So, the consideration of both positive and negative influential variables on the travel pattern can help to outline a sustainable future transportation plan of Khulna City.
