The paper analyses the socio-economic determinants of travel behaviour and discusses the implications for an environmentally sustainable transport system. The Com-Poisson regression model is used and the model was applied to Mauritius, a small island state, where size is a constraint to travel demand. A survey was undertaken and the findings imply that age, gender, income, qualification, ownership of car and household size are significant factors influencing travel behaviour. The study concludes that societal dynamics can be incompatible to environmental sustainable transport and hence, these forces are important considerations to design sustainable transport policies.
