Abstract

This study examines the role of environmental awareness in shaping residents' trip lengths in Ogun State, focusing on sustainable transportation perspectives. The research investigates intra-urban variations in trip lengths across different spatial structures: traditional, transitional, and suburban zones. Utilizing a descriptive and analytical approach, data were collected through surveys targeting 362 residents. Based on the findings, Females generated more trips (58.4% of total trips). Residents aged 30-44 made the most trips (average daily: 234.7). Individuals with ND/HND qualifications made the most trips (1,331 weekly). Households earning ₦60,000 - ₦120,000 made the highest number of trips (1,341 weekly). The findings reveal that about 44.1% of the residents in traditional zones predominantly undertake shorter trips (5.1-10 km), while about 23.6% of the respondents in suburban zones show a higher frequency of longer trips (above 20 km). Factors influencing travel behavior include socioeconomic characteristics, modal preferences, and environmental awareness. The study underscores the necessity for tailored urban planning and transportation policies that consider the unique attributes of each zone to promote sustainable travel behaviors.

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive demographic and transportation analysis of students and staff at Bells University and Covenant University, examining commuting patterns in relation to socio-economic characteristics such as age distribution, marital status, and income levels. Results indicate that Covenant University has a higher proportion of younger respondents (38% aged 15–18) compared to Bells University (28%), with the majority at both institutions being single (77% at Bells; 83% at Covenant), reflecting a predominantly young, unmarried student population. Income data show that 56.5% of Bells staff earn above ₦114,000, while 44% of Covenant students receive allowances between ₦30,001 and ₦50,000. Trip analysis reveals that most journeys are under 30 minutes (69% at Bells; 76% at Covenant), with longer trips over one hour accounting for 17% and 11%, respectively. Car use is higher at Covenant, reflecting greater access to private vehicles, while walking and public transport use remain relatively low at both institutions. Trip purposes shift over the day, with initial trips primarily for educational purposes, especially at Covenant followed by increased shopping and recreational travel, suggesting a balance between academic and social activities. The findings highlight the need for targeted, sustainable transportation policies that address the mobility needs of university communities while enhancing campus accessibility and livability.
