Abstract

Services are becoming more and more important in industrialized countries. Yet very little is known about the traffic initiated by the provision of these services. Particularly the role of firms in this context is an unexplored field of research. To know how firms influence the travel behaviour of their employees, is however crucial for public authorities and for development of political measures.
