Travel Mode Choice (TMC) prediction is vital for forecasting travel demand and transportation planning. To be helpful for those purposes, one needs to know with high accuracy what influences choices and how. For accuracy, Machine Learning (ML) classification techniques often produce results with higher accuracy than traditional methods. However, many ML techniques are black-box tools, making them less useful for planning. To this end, two new approaches were proposed to interpret the results of ML techniques and investigate the influence of different variables on TMC. The results suggested that ensemble learning techniques outperform other prediction methods. Adding accessibility, geographic, and land-use variables to the conventional TMC prediction models could improve their performance. The most important parameters for TMC were found to be: trip distance, availability of a transit pass and availability of a driver’s license. Their respective influences on the different modes are demonstrated using the novel method mentioned above.
