People with a migration background and/or who belong to ethnic minorities tend to have different travel behaviour, mainly in terms of lower car use. A better understanding of this nexus is needed, yet there is a lack of quantitative studies on this topic from the United Kingdom. We fill this gap by analysing data from the 2018–2019 wave of the UK Household Longitudinal Survey. With ordinal regression models, we investigate the impact of migration generation and belonging to ethnic minorities on the frequency of car, bus, and bicycle use. We explore to what extent these associations are accounted for by differences in socio-demographic and -economic characteristics, residential location, and accessibility at neighbourhood level, driving licence and access to a car, while also exploring ethnic neighbourhood effects. Our results show that travel behaviour varies substantially depending on migration background and ethnicity, with the latter playing a larger role. Nevertheless, many of these differences are accounted for by socio-economic and residential characteristics. We find evidence of a net association between certain ethnic groups and travel mode use, e.g., lower than expected levels of cycling among participants that identify themselves as “Asian or Asian British” or “Black or Black British”, and higher levels of bus use among “Black or Black British”. We interpret these as suggestive of differences in cultural attitudes and socialisation. We find suggestive evidence of transport assimilation effects, but only little evidence of ethnic neighbourhood effects. We discuss our findings in the context of debates on sustainable transport and transport-related inequalities.

Traveling in inclement winter weather is challenging due to reduced mobility and increased travel risks. It is essential to aid commuters in making adequate pre-travel decisions under such conditions by providing real-time information on road and weather conditions. This study investigates factors that affect the effectiveness of such information on commuting routes, using data collected via a stated-preference survey. Respondents were asked to make travel decisions (likelihood of canceling their trip) based on observable outdoor weather conditions in their neighborhoods and route-specific road and weather conditions conveyed through digital media platforms. The real-time location and short-term trajectory of snowplowing trucks were also presented to evaluate impacts of such information on travel decisions during winter weather. The random parameter multinomial logit model with means and variances heterogeneity model was applied for modeling travel decisions given different weather and information scenarios. The results demonstrate that such information can significantly influence pre-travel decision-making during winter weather, with the display of snowplow truck status notably increasing likelihood to commute. The study underscores the importance of customizing information delivery strategies, as their effectiveness varies based on respondent income, job requirements, commuting distances, driving experience, and vehicle performance. Furthermore, an equity issue was identified, indicating that commuters with in-person working requirements and low income are more likely to take travel risks regardless of road and weather conditions. This study provides valuable insights for technology developers, policymakers, and traffic operators regarding the potential impacts of delivering information of real-time road and weather conditions on the route to commuters.
