Rapid urbanization in developing countries has led to an unprecedented increase in demand for mobility services, which in turn has put tremendous pressure on urban transport infrastructure and services. Promotion of non-motorized vehicles for trips is inevitable for resilient and sustainable transportation system. Broadly trips can be categorized in to three types working, shopping, and recreational trips. If characteristics of the trips specially shopping are analyzed then effective promotion policies can be framed to increase use of non-motorized vehicles. An attempt is made in this paper to analyze shopping trips characteristics in Vadodara City like trip distance, travel time, mode choice behavior along with socio-economic characteristics of the commuters so that land use can be planned and designed accordingly to promote non-motorized vehicles use. Benefits of NMT are multifold like reduction in air and noise pollution, saving in fossil fuel, increase in health of citizens, reducing congestion on the roads.
