Abstract

This study analyzes the intra-urban challenges of small freight distribution among market women in Alimosho Local Government area of Lagos State, Nigeria. The study focused on frequency of trips, estimation of distance travel, transport cost, mode of distribution and travel time of the market women. A total of 150 copies of structure questionnaire were administered systematically using convenience sampling at the 10 major/regional markets. Multiple regression technique was used to test the study hypothesis. The study discovered that market women travel an average of 14km daily. The study also established that the factors affecting their mobility effectiveness have no significant impact on trip frequency to the regional/selling markets. The study recommends: the use of high-capacity buses with under cabin to accommodate the market women small freights; adequate security surveillance along major road corridors in Alimosho LGA to prevent early morning attack on market women, among others.
