چکیده

Objectives: The present study aims to analyze the factors which influence the selection of modes by commuters for  daily travel to work .
Methodology: For accomplishment of this objective, a field survey has been conducted in Moradabad city among the commuters to collect the data by using a structured questionnaire in month of April-May, 2017 following the simple random sampling method. The data obtained through the survey has been analyzed by simple percent method. The public transport, private vehicles and non-motorized modes were taken as the dependent variable while the age, education, monthly income, household size, settlement status and distance were considered as  the independent variables.
Results: The result clearly reveals that the selection of modes of transit varies with the variations in socio-economic conditions of commuters. It has also been found that the commuters living in better socio-economic condition in terms of education, monthly income, and size of household were likely more to commute by private modes of transportation than the commuters belonging to poor socio-economic condition who mostly rely on public and  non-motorized vehicles.
Conclusion: The study suggests the base to better understand which attributes are more effective in selecting the means to travel for work Moreover, the commuting modes discussed in terms of public, private and non-motorized vehicles used by commuters according to their demographic, social and economic characteristics can help to formulate the effective and successful transportation policies.
