The planning and provision of equitable urban transportation services is critical to ensure both equitable societies and sustainable urban forms. To achieve these, planners and decision-makers must acknowledge the diversity of issues resulting from the heterogeneity in socio-demographic segments. While the transportation needs of these groups are comparable within social strata, they greatly differ across them. The goal of this dissertation is to determine the level to which these differences exist and investigate the elements that engender them at the individual level. The analysis, conducted in various demographic segments in the Montreal census metropolitan area, is based on econometric models of commuting modes and distances, which have been developed using 1996 Canadian Census data.
