The study of youths’ mobility-related decisions is of great significance to the nation’s future transportation planning. Although developing countries like India have a considerable share of youth, research exploring travel behavior of youth is scant. Besides, females and males are proven to have dissimilar travel patterns in developing countries, thus need to be studied separately. With this viewpoint, this study aims to analyze the factors influencing travel behavior of female students commuting by public transport in Dehradun, India. The survey employs 400 respondents whose travel characteristics, attitude towards public transport, and socio-economic characteristics data have been collected and analyzed using multinomial logistic regression model. Study findings conclude that household income, age, location factor, and attitude towards public transport significantly influence female students’ travel mode choices. Thus, this study provides useful inputs for future public transport planning and policy implications.
