Trip distribution models attempt to capture two effects and these are changes in the overall scale of travel between some base year and forecast year as well as fundamental changes in commuting structure. The paper begins with a very brief discussion of observed commuting changes in the Toronto region between 1971 and 1981 using the census journey-to-work data. The abilities of a doubly constrained gravity model to emulate interzonal commuting flows in 1971 and 1981 are examined as well as its ability to forecast 1981 flows. These explanatory and forecasting capabilities are compared with those of a Fratar-type trip distribution model. The trip interchange residuals for both model types are isolated and interpreted in terms of the changes in spatial structure that have occurred in the Toronto region over the analysis period. It is concluded that the forecasts provided by the Fratar model are much superior to those of the aggregate doubly constrained gravity model. Both model types have difficulties in emulating shifts in commuting structure that are due to fundamental changes in living and working patterns by the various socioeconomic groups.
