Modal share, Mode split or Modal split, is a traffic / transport term that describes the number of trips or (more common) percentage of travelers using a particular type of transportation.[1]
The term is often used when analysing the sustainability of transport within a city or region. In recent years, many cities have set modal share targets for sustainable transport modes, particularly cycling and public transport.
