1. The mode of transportation used to make the greatest part of the journey (based on time).
All predicted probabilities presented in this table were calculated from coefficients statistically significant at p < 0,05.
Municipalities (small towns, villages, etc.) not located within a CMA or a CA are classified based on the percentage of the population making the commute to a CMA or CA to go to work.
A municipality is categorized as a strong MIZ if 30% or more of its population commutes to a CMA/CA; moderate MIZ if the percentage is between 5% and 29%; weak MIZ if the percentage is between 0% and 5%; and no influence MIZ if no-one commutes to a CMA/CA.
CA : census agglomeration.
CMA : census metropolitan area.
MIZ : census metropolitan area and census agglomeration influenced zone.
n. s. : not statistically different from the reference category in italics.
