Endring i Befolkningens Reisevaner i en 25-Arsperiode-Trender og Drivkrefter. (Travel Behavior over a 25-Year Period-Trends and Drivers.)

摘要

Between 1985 and 2009 we saw population growth of 17 percent and growth in the number of cars on the roads by nearly 50 percent in Norway. Fewer people now live in sparsely populated areas and personal income increased significantly. The work-force increased to 2.5 million, and the share educated to university level reached 26 percent. During the period under study, distance travelled daily increased from 34 to 42 km and the share of drivers from 46 to 52 percent, while cycling and walking decreased from 31 to 26 percent. Travel by public transport remained static throughout the entire period at 10 percent and the number of trips remained unchanged at about three per day.
