Integrated decision-making for residential, workplace, and work modality choices in two-worker households

Telecommuting has transformed the way two-worker households approach long-term decisions regarding residential location, workplace, and work modalities. This study explores the interconnections among these choices using data from the 2018 Okanagan Travel Survey conducted in British Columbia, Canada. This study employs random utility maximization-based discrete choice modelling approaches, specifically Cross-Nested Logit (CNL) models. The results show that households are more likely to adjust their work modalities, such as telecommuting, rather than altering their residential or workplace locations. Key factors shaping these choices include vehicle ownership, mobility challenges, age, and type of employment. Households with fewer vehicles exhibit a higher tendency to telecommute, while preferences favour residential areas with strong neighbourhood characteristics and workplaces near commercial centres or central business districts. Moreover, reducing commuting distances emerges as an essential aspect in balancing commuting burdens for two-worker households. These insights contribute to a nuanced understanding of the interconnected nature of household decisions and provide valuable input for promoting sustainable urban planning. The developed model will be integrated into the Simulator for Transportation, Energy, and Land Use for Regional Systems (STELARS), currently under development at The University of British Columbia.
