Attraction-end choice studies have primarily focused on nonurban recreational trips or nonrecreational urban trips. Relatively little attention has been focused in the literature on urban recreational trips. However, urban recreational trips are contributing increasingly to overall urban travel. Attraction-end choice models for home-based urban recreational trips are examined. A nonlinear-in-parameters multinomial logit model is estimated using the 1996 Dallas–Fort Worth household activity survey. The effects of level-of-service, zonal attribute, trip attribute, and socio-demographic variables on recreational attraction-end choice are examined, and the implications of the results for land use, transportation planning, and air quality analysis are discussed.
