Abstract: Daily trips of elderly city-dwellers are the subject of this study. In this analysis of urban travel behaviour, we use travel surveys carried out in Grenoble conurbation in 1978, 1984-85 and 1992. First, we study the characteristics of the mobility of the sixty and over using synchronic data. In terms of number of trips, modal split, or activities, large variations appear among eldely population, due to age, gender, access to car, level of education and localization of home. Then we study changes in mobility by comparing the ageing of successive generations. The changes that happened in the last 15 years affect much more the use of means of transport (growth in car use, nay public transport, decline of on-foot trips) than the activity realized out of home. These trends indicate that the growth in car use will continue in the next years, particularly because of the coming at sixty of generations of women with a greater experience of this means of transport.
