description Household car ownership has become a crucial issue in Indonesia due to rapid urbanization and economic growth, which have led to increased demand for personal vehicles. This surge in vehicles contributes to traffic congestion, pollution, and strains on urban infrastructure. This study aimed to investigate private vehicle ownership in relation to household characteristics and mobility attributes in developing country settings. The methodology used is the multinomial logit model (MNL) to analyze ownership patterns. The empirical results showed the significant impact of the income variable on vehicle ownership. Ownership of multiple private vehicles was more prevalent among individuals with a driver's license, males, and those who traveled longer distances. These outcomes could be invaluable for policymakers focused on reducing auto dependency and enhancing the efficiency of urban transportation systems.
