This article analysed data on the effect of demography and socioeconomic parameters on non-motorized trip with special focus on walking as a modal choice. To achieve this aim, 500 detailed question forms were administered to respondents who are 18 years and above in Ota, Ogun State Nigeria. Information on volume of trips, types of trips, modal split, and land use were analyzed.
