Q. 1: Figure 1 represents daily trips per person (by gender) in the Greater Toronto Area for the population cohort of 40 years and above. It uses information from three consecutive travel surveys conducted in the year of 1986, 1996 and 2006 respectively. [Marks 2.5] a) Briefly discuss the observed travel behaviour for different age groups in different time periods (for example: What are the general patterns of trip making behaviour for different age groups? What trend is observed during this twenty-year period for different age groups? What is the most significant change that you have observed in this time period? Is there any difference in trip rates for aging population in different survey years? Is there any difference in trip rates between men and women? What might be the underlying reasons for changes in observed travel behaviour? etc.)3. b) What are the major planning implications of the travel behaviour and/or trend that you have observed in this figure? 2.00 1.80 1.60 1.40 - - Men_1986 1.20 . .
