Addis Ababa keeps expanding horizontally as a result of increase in wealth and population, therncity has faced some problems like congestion, poor access to work place, education, health andrnother services due to lack of properly planned urban transport and lack of improved transportrnmodes, mobility in the city which has becomes a big issue. This study is designed to assess urbanrntransport mobility with trip distribution methods to calculate expected number of trips betweenrnorigin and destination zones, to identify factors that affect personal trip production with respectrnto travel pattern and finally to forward recommendations based on the analysis made to improvernthe urban transport planning system. In order to solve the stated problems and meet thernobjectives both primary and secondary data were collected. In relation to secondary data, relatedrndocuments were reviewed. Regarding primary data, expected numbers of trips between twornzones were estimated using gravity model. The total number of estimated trips was 360,672rntrips/day and the actual trips that were counted were 3,450 trips/day. To balance these two trips,rncalibration constant was calculated. Questionnaires were distributed to different populationrngroups randomly and were analyzed using SPSS software. Semi structured interviews were usedrnto collect data related to transport planning system. As a result study identify parameters thatrncan affect urban mobility with regard to trip person production based on the travel behavior andrnsocio economic activities like income, household size, educational back ground, number ofrnemployees, travel time, number of trips, trip purposes and transport expenses. Incomes peoplernearned had significant influence on the type of transportation they frequently used, which is alsornan implication of their daily expense for transport. Urban transport challenges regardingrnpopulation growth, inadequate urban transport planning and fast growth in urbanization resultedrnin congestion, poor mobility and accidents. Lastly, the study recommends that there has to be arnpolicy that coordinates urban and transport planning policies to make an integrated transport landrnuse systems which reduce the distance travelled, time taken and use of personal vehicles alongrnwith increasing accessibility through proper land allocation for different activities andrngovernment must plan new policy to decrease migration from rural areas to the city for differentrnpurpose by providing sufficient services at home town. Additionally, the study recommends thernuse of high capacity vehicles can improve urban mobility and traffic rules enforcement mustrnhave conducted to reduce traffic accidents.
