Average Trip Length and Percentage o Person Trips Under <br />Mile <br />g f p e .I <br />Shorter trip distance is one factor that contributes to making the use of alternative modes more <br />attractive. As presented in Table 6, trip length reflects the average distance for trips taken within <br />the region by all modes and does not include trips made through the region. The objective is to <br />g 1 <br />reduce average trip length. Percentage of person trips under 1 mile rovides a measure of the <br />plan's � p <br />p s specific impact on short trips.
