Active Travel Behavior

Active Travel Behavior is a scholarly construct referring to the observable decisions and patterns of individuals in choosing human-powered modes of transportation—such as walking, cycling, or other non-motorized means—for utilitarian or discretionary trips, distinguished from passive or motorized travel behaviors by its reliance on physical activity as the primary motive force.
