Abstract

This chapter focuses on how people adapt their travel to disruptions in the transportation system. This adaptation can reduce travel and/or transfer volumes to other modes of transportation, routes, and times of day to take advantage of reduced congestion for the alternatives. Some travel changes, such as departure times and routes, are more common and easier to make. Other changes occur at a strategic level and require resources. This chapter discusses resources and limitations that affect these travel changes. Furthermore, this chapter recognizes that the travel conditions during a disruption and restoration of infrastructure and service are dynamic as travelers’ personal situations and their environment evolves. Transportation providers need to understand these adaptations and constraints so that their strategies align with travelers’ need and capabilities.
