Non-motorized transportation mode choice behavior was analyzed considering influence of trip distance. The
application of a sustainable transport concept is essential for a clean, healthy and high quality environment. On
the basis of emphasis regarding this concept between human life and the environment, it was developed to meet
current and future needs. Non motorized transportation mode choice behavior was analyzed considering
