| Summary: | This paper analyzes the evolution in transport modal use in daily mobility of workers in the greater Paris area in the last decade. After many decades of continuous growth, car use has decreased while public transport, walking, cycling and motorized two-wheelers use has increased. The objective of this paper is to define the spatial and socio-demographic characteristics of workers who have changed their modes of transportation. A typological analysis is conducted based on data from the last two Paris region household travel surveys. This approach identifies who are the workers behind the decrease in private car use. A growing number of workers who live or work in Paris and in the inner suburbs, white collar and highly qualified workers, men, high incomes, workers with children, workers with driving license and workers in mono-motorized households have an alternative mobility. The results also underlines that high automobile mobility, a decreasing mobility behavior, concerns more and more peri-urban workers, craftsmen, tradesman, managers and blue collar, and workers over the age of thirty.
