This study evaluated how travel socialization affected people’s norms, habits, and vehicle dependence of travel mode choice in order to help reducing private vehicles use. Drivers and motorcyclists with licenses in Taipei were interviewed through face-to-face survey and online survey for empirical study purpose. A completed questionnaire was returned by 89% of them (N=1329). The data was analyzed with T-test and One-Way ANOVA. The result showed gender, age, and income have significant differences on vehicle dependence, but present residence and residence while growing up have no significant differences on vehicle dependence. The Structural Equation Model (SEM) was then used to verify the paths between the constructs. The path analysis in SEM showed that the three travel socialization constructs, including parents, peers, school, have direct effect on personal norm and habit.
