In this article, the relationships among technology ownership and availability, Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) awareness, and ATIS frequency of use are examined. The four main media considered are the Internet, television, radio, and telephone/other. Awareness and use of ATIS through the four media considered here are different for different users. They also change as household and person characteristics change over time. Since Information and (tele)Communication Technology (ICT) adoption is changing rapidly, this has a significant positive effect on Internet-based ATIS but not a clearly negative effect on all other media. The relationship between awareness and use appears to be nonlinear and dependent on the medium considered. Evidence of substitution between television and Internet and enhancement among other media were also found in this study.
