<![CDATA[Transportation plays an important role in supporting community mobility and enhancing socio-economic activities in urban areas. The increasing population growth and community activities in Sorong City have led to a higher demand for transportation modes. This study aims to identify the characteristics of transportation users in Kota Sorong and to analyze the probability of selecting different transportation modes using the Multinomial Logit (MNL) method. A quantitative approach was employed in this research. Questionnaires were distributed to 225 transportation users in Sorong City. The variables analyzed included gender, age, occupation, income, trip purpose, travel frequency, and reasons for choosing a transportation mode. The data were analyzed using multinomial logistic regression with SPSS software. The results indicate that transportation mode choice is influenced not only by socio-economic factors, but also by showed that income, trip purpose, travel frequency, and reasons for choosing the mode significantly influenced transportation mode choice, while gender, age, and occupation did not have significant effects. The probability analysis indicated that private vehicles had the highest probability of selection at 89.63%, followed by online transportation at 9.96%, and conventional motorcycle taxis at 0.41%. These findings imply that socio-economic and travel behavior factors strongly influence transportation mode preferences in Sorong City and may serve as a reference for future urban transportation planning and policy development.]]>
