Abstract
Everyday commuting as a mobility phenomenon is well-investigated and has been the
topic of many contributions. Nevertheless, the distinct determinants of the commuting
professional’s motivation to regularly travel comparably long distances have not been in
the focus of research yet. Thus, this contribution analyses the sociodemographic variables
that underpin the well-educated group’s decision to commute longer distances than other
educational groups. For German Microcensus data, ordered logistic regression models are
used to estimate and compare the influences of sociodemographic variables on all commuting
employees and commuting professionals. The data of German Microcensus of the year
2012 are used for the analysis. The results imply that some characteristics exert the already
known effects on both samples. Others do vary with education and thus illustrate some
unique sociodemographic influences on the commuting behaviour of professionals.
