This paper addresses the relationship between land use and destination selection, and the question of destination selection on travel mode choice. Specifically, this work focuses on internalized trips, a sub-category of trip making where both trip origin and trip destination are contained in the same geographic unit of analysis. This investigation uses data from the 1994 Household Activity and Travel Diary Survey conducted by Portland Metro. Using multinomial logit and binary logistic models to measure travel mode choice and decision to internalize trips, the evidence here supports three conclusions: 1.) urban design elements do more to alter travel mode choice than alter trip destination; 2.) there is a threshold effect in the ability of mixed use to alter travel behavior; and 3.) greater emphasis to destinations within the area where the home is located needs to be given in trip distribution models.
