This study tested an integrated process model of travel behavior modification. We used a model that combined the theory of planned behavior (TPB), norm activation theory (NAT), a theory of implementation intention, and theories of habit. To test the integrated model, we used panel data (n = 208) obtained before and after travel feedback programs (TFPs); the TFP is a communication program aimed at voluntary travel behavior modification, from automobile use to non-auto means of travel such as public transit and bicycle use. A structural equations model using the data collected tested the integrated model. The results showed that habit prevents people from forming behavioral intentions for behavior change; behavior change is induced by implementation intentions, which are, in turn, influenced by behavior intentions; and behavioral intentions are influenced by altruistic determinants rather than by non-altruistic determinants
