This article brings two emerging research areas together: gender differences in travel behavior and travel patterns on college campuses; with a focus on bicycling. Detailed analysis and choice model estimations present the significant effects of gender, travel times, and personal attitudes on the decision to bike. Although men and women experience similar environmental opportunities and constraints, their perceptions in terms of safety and feasibility of alternative transportation modes differ. The models indicate women are more sensitive to being close to bicycle trails and paths. Results reveal different policy and infrastructure changes may be required to encourage more women to bicycle.
