Growing car ownership and congestion pose a threat to urban transportation sustainability in most urban areas globally. Harare Metropolitan Region has not been immune to traffic congestion due the influx of vehicles and the subsequent growth in private vehicle ownership. The study sought to determine the effect of vehicle miles travelled (VMT) on traffic congestion. A cross-section survey and a pragmatism research philosophy were utilized. The research focused on Harare Metropolitan Region households, urban planners, transportation planners, and motorists. The study's sample size was 384 people, chosen using convenience and purposive sampling techniques. Data was gathered from respondents using structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. To examine the validity of all the items included in the study, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was utilized. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in Amos version 21 was used to test the study hypothesis. According to the study, VMT has a positive influence on traffic congestion. The study suggests that there is a need for actor-factor analysis, in which policies are developed by realistically connecting social actors from the top to the bottom. Furthermore, policymakers should enact policies and make appropriate investments that encourage people to drive less. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
