In this paper, a model is developed to predict the use of third places based on employment and demographic information for the first time in literature. Then, the predicted distributions are synthesized with a pre-COVID travel survey to estimate a new set of origin-destination commuting flows that include work trips to third places. Finally, the aggregate effect of these new origin-destination flows on total commuting distance and commuting-related carbon emissions are determined.
