Although motorcycles are the main mode of transportation in many megacities in developing countries, very little research has been conducted on motorcycle operations and related issues. This paper addresses (1) the empirical analysis of the current status of motorcycle ownership and utilization in Ho Chi Minh City, (2) the estimation of the number of motorcycles used in this city, and (3) the analysis and modeling of different transportation policy scenarios. For (1) and (2), the survey results indicate that on average motorcycle ownership (2.33 motorcycles) is higher than that of working-age people in a family (2.29 people). The total number of motorcycles operating in Ho Chi Minh City is estimated to be almost 2 million fewer than that of registered motorcycles. For (3), the results show that each proposed scenario has its own advantage. The demand management policy, which involves either reducing demand via ride sharing or reducing the number of working days per fortnight to 9, is found to be the only single policy that results in little to no adverse impact on total vehicle trips, emissions, fuel consumption, or revenue.
