195gENDER PATTERNS IN TRAVEL TIME AND DISTANCE IN THE PARIS REgION travel distance budget for constrained trips decreased for men during the period between the last two surveys. The women's travel distance budget has increased by 44% at the total level, with a slight increase in the constrained trips distance and an important increase in the nonconstrained trips.
