Description :
This paper examines whether residents of ethnic neighbourhoods in Southern California are more likely to carpool than other residents. It shows that this relationship is strongest for immigrants who live in immigrant neighbourhoods; immigrants living in non-immigrant neighbourhoods are less likely to carpool. These findings suggest an important role for social networks in travel behaviour and the potential benefits of linking land use to the specific needs of local residents.
