Sustainability is a major goal of the policy makers, with the aim of limiting the effects of global warming and climate change. When it comes to finding ways to make the transportation sector more environmentally friendly and carbon neutral, always land transport is the main focus. But, shifting to more environmentally friendly modes of transportation, such as inland waterway transportation (IWT), offers the potential to reduce the side effects caused by road transport, including costs from emissions, noise and congestion. For passenger and freight transportation, IWT has lower operating costs and emissions than road, rail or air. This paper focusses on the mode shift behaviour of the commuters to the newly introduced water way from Kakanad to Infopark in Ernakulam district, Kerala. The identification of variables influencing mode choice behaviour, the analysis of survey respondents, and intention to use boat service were determined. The identification and ranking of the factors influencing the choice of waterway using the relative importance index were also done.
