Abstract Increased pollution, congestion, traffic jams, higher travel cost, travel distance, travel time, accidents, and dependence on imported oil, etc., are the major problems that the countries in the world are facing today. Non-motorized transport or active transport is one of the measures to conquer such problems. The trips conducted by non-motorized modes are important because these are a very flexible solution to accessibility, especially where the resources are scarce. These are capable of generating employment and poverty alleviation. In addition to this, the total cost of non-motorized traffic infrastructure along with operating costs is 4–8 times cheaper than that needed for motorized vehicles. Studying these trips will help planners to understand the needs of non-motorized trip makers. By knowing this, one can design facilities and policies for the use of non-motorized vehicles. This paper aims to present information about the modal share of non-motorized trips, importance of these trips in present scenario, factors affecting non-motorized vehicles, and policies and design needs which can help in increasing the modal share of non-motorized trips.
