Reducing family car-use by providing travel advice or requesting behavioral plans: An experimental analysis of travel feedback programs

A field experiment was conducted to look at the effectiveness of a travel feedback program aimed at reducing family car-use. The experiment focused on a travel feedback program that urged participants to make behavioral plans, and compared it to a program that provided individualized information. The results are used to discuss the psychological process of behavioral modification, theoretically effective interventions, and policy implications for implementing effective travel feedback programs.
