This work addresses the relations between travel behavior and land use patterns using a simultaneous equation model system framework. The proposed model structure draws on an earlier model developed for the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (LMA), using data from a survey made in 1994, which concluded for the existence of significant effects of land use patterns on travel behavior, whereas the data used here were collected in 2009. During the last 15 years several and important changes have occurred in the study area with transport provision increasing substantially. Also several socioeconomic changes occurred that were accompanied by a strong increase in auto-ownership and an increase in urban sprawl. The research presented in this paper aims to answer an important policy question: Does the relation between travel behavior and land use patters found in 1994 still hold? And if not which changes occurred in 15 years? The behavior variables included here are multidimensional and include home location, car ownership, amount of mobility by mode, and the total time spent between the first and last trips in a day. The land use patterns are described by factors both at the residence and employment zones of each individual. The model results confirm the important role of land use on travel behavior in 2009 as we found for 1994 and the importance for public transportation in spite of the heavy investment in infrastructure for private cars.
