10: MTC MNL Mode Choice, Autos per Household

There are strong theoretical and empirical reasons to expect that a variety of decision maker related variables such as income, car availability, residential location, number of workers in the household and others, influence workers’ choice of travel mode.

Model 10 considers the number of automobiles in the household. (pp. 120)
