Walking for Transportation Undercounted
Source: Transport Reviews
Quantifies self-reported walking for transportation in five large Latin American cities by identifying both walking trips that are conducted entirely on foot and walking events involved in trips mainly conducted by other means of transportation. Finds that walking-only trips account for approximately 30% trips in the analyzed cities, and the pedestrian dimension of mobility is largely underestimated if walking that involves other transportation modes is not accounted for.
