Abstract: Recent transport studies report a decline in car use in high density metropolitan areas and among young adults in many developed countries. Looking at transport mode choices of workers and students in Belgium, we find a similar trend. For travel to work located in the Brussels-Capital Region, car use has declined since the beginning of the century in favour of public transport modes. Among students in higher education, travel by car has dropped considerably in all three regions. Choices for more sustainable travel modes show marked regional differences. The results are based on newly available data on mobility in the Belgian Labour Force Survey.
