The study utilized data gathered in a project organized by the University of Toronto's Child in the City Programme and supported by a grant from the Canadian Ministry of National Health and Welfare. The goal of the study was to document daily conditions and logistical constraints faced by women with children. Data from a 1976 travel survey conducted by the Southern California Association of Governments and the California Department of Transportation enabled selected comparisons. This survey contained detailed information on trips made by everyone over five years of age in the households sampled, access to transportation, characteristics of members of the household, and attitudes toward transportation alternatives. Comparisons were made in terms of household automobile ownership and intra-familial automobile allocation, number and purposes of daily trips, choice of mode, average travel time and trip length, and average commute distance. Results of this analysis highlighted both differences and similarities between the two samples.
