Environmental awareness and transportation choices: A case study in Valencia, Spain
This research examines the role of environmental awareness and pro-environmental actions on transport mode choice among university students in Valencia, Spain. Based on data obtained through 524 face-to-face interviews, a hybrid discrete choice model was developed to identify the main determinants and the most effective policy measures to achieve sustainable transportation.
Our findings highlight a disassociation between environmental awareness and actual pro-environmental actions. While the latent variable of environmental awareness has no significant effect, pro-environmental actions do positively affect the probability of using sustainable modes.
In terms of policy recommendations, the most effective measures to reduce car dependency would be those affecting transit time, such as reducing parking space in campus surroundings or facilitating transfers in the case of public transportation. Finally, policies aimed at increasing sustainable transportation should not only focus on raising awareness but also on promoting involvement in non-transport-related environmental actions.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution.
We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
