Abstract

This study investigates disparities in travel speeds between immigrants and natives in France. Using data from the 2019 French National Transport Survey, it examines the factors contributing to slower travel speeds among immigrants compared to natives. The findings highlight significant variability in travel speed behaviors between natives and immigrants and within immigrant subgroups. Immigrants' slower travel speeds are primarily driven by differences in transport mode choice, influenced by structural factors such as residential location. Immigrants without French citizenship exhibit lower travel speeds, supporting the "travel assimilation" hypothesis. Residing in immigrantdense neighborhoods or ethnic enclaves is associated with reduced travel speeds.
