Abstract: | Though driving to and from work has become a prevalent experience in the lives of individuals in every metropolitan region
in the US, much remains to be learned about the activity from the perspective of the drivers. To increase our understanding
of the motivation for certain travel behaviors, we must first know something about what those drivers experience. The existing
literature explains much, but the application of new methodologies could improve our ability to explain the willingness of
individuals to choose to drive through increasingly congested road networks. The results of this study of oral histories of
12 women commuters underscore the idea that commute should be seen as a set of subjective behaviors that contradict some existing
assumptions about why individuals commute. |
