Substantial changes are needed to combat traffic jams and improve air quality. Active and non-motorized travel choices allow more sustainable urban mobility and bring intrinsic benefits to the quality of life of each individual and public health. This study aims to understand better the characteristics that influence individuals’ preference for certain types of transport modes in their daily routines in the Porto Metropolitan Area. A mobility survey was carried out by Statistic Portugal in which about 80,000 residents in the Porto Metropolitan Area were interviewed, considering 41 relevant characteristics that can influence the type of transport chosen for a trip. In this research, it was found that about 80% of the respondents preferred to travel using motorized transport, and only 20% used soft modes for their daily trips. The method proposed in this paper considers a multinomial discrete choice model that allows the analysis of different combinations of characteristics (independent variable), having the dependent variable as the transport mode chosen by the respondents in their trips. Through subjective questions about the available data, it is intended to analyze which characteristic exerts the most significant influence on citizen decision-making.
