The Transportation Sector is a key contributor to the global challenge of Climate Change. Increase in demand for transportation, increase in the use of the private mode of transportation, increase in trip lengths, low occupancy rate and lower levels of fuel efficiency result in higher Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions. This research attempts to examine the Neighbourhoods with regard to the Carbon Footprints generated by capturing the Residents’ Travel Behaviour in the context of Ahmedabad, India. The Neighbourhoods were selected based on spatial location, density and socio-economic groups along the public transport corridors. A sample of 270 was recorded by a stratified random sampling method to analyse Travel Behaviour. An integrated analysis of Transportation Energy Demand, CO2 Emissions and Neighbourhood Planning was carried out. The study revealed that the modal share and the average trip lengths varied across distinct socio-economic groups and purpose of trips. Vehicle Kilometres Travelled (VKT) increase with an increase in age and ownership of motorized vehicles. Personal household income and the ownership of motorized vehicle also have an assertive relation to the mode of transport; so with higher income, the use of motorized vehicles for daily trips is also high.
