Although previous studies have explored how satisfied people are with their travel, the link with the built environment and available travel options is unclear. This research investigates whether travel options influence how commute time satisfaction relates to the built environment. First, profiles among commuters in terms of commute time satisfaction (CTS) and residential built environment (RBE) were identified by performing a cluster analysis using a large European sample with the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) 2013 survey. Following, whether travel options (mode availability) could inform differences among CTS-RBE profiles was investigated, while accounting for neighborhood characteristics and satisfaction with life and life domains, by performing logistic regression analyses. Travel options were found to indicate CTS-RBE profiles. This research supports the idea that travel options can affect the CTS-RBE relationship, and can therefore be useful to measuring and correcting travel option unavailability or travel captivity. The contributions of this study to the travel behavior field, in addition to being the first study to examine CTS, is important to urban planning and policy to not only identify the places in which travel options can be improved, but for whom.

尽管以前的研究已经探索了人们对旅行的满意度，但是与建筑环境和可用旅行选择之间的联系尚不清楚。这项研究调查出行方式是否会影响通勤时间满意度与建筑环境之间的关系。首先，通过使用2013年欧洲收入和生活状况统计（EU-SILC）调查的大型欧洲样本进行聚类分析，确定了通勤者在通勤时间满意度（CTS）和住宅建筑环境（RBE）方面的概况。随后，通过执行逻辑回归分析，研究了出行选项（模式可用性）是否可以告知CTS-RBE配置文件之间的差异，同时考虑了邻里特征以及对生活和生活领域的满意度。发现旅行选项指示CTS-RBE配置文件。这项研究支持旅行选择会影响CTS-RBE关系的想法，因此对于测量和纠正旅行选择的不可用性或旅行限制度很有用。除了是第一个研究CTS的研究之外，该研究对旅行行为领域的贡献对于城市规划和政策不仅对确定可以改善旅行选择的地方，而且对于谁来说都是重要的。
