Abstract
Urban communities have a tendency to have high movement activities. To carry out their daily activities, the community is assisted by a variety of transportation modes. Most people in Yogyakarta urban area use private vehicles, such as motorcycles. The excessive use of motorcycle certainly has negative impacts like traffic congestion and increases travel time and air pollution. Government policies are needed to reduce motorcycle ownership and promote the use of public transportation. The policies issued must be pushed and pulled, which means that the policies issued should be able to not only improve public transports but also suppress the ownership and movement of private vehicles. The purpose of this paper is to understand the factors that influence motorcycle ownership. First understand about travel characteristics, household characteristics, and travel movements. Sources of data were collected from the survey by conducting interviews with household interview surveys in Yogyakarta Province. Data collection was carried out at the end of 2015
