The travel data from the Encuesta Origen Destino en Hogares de la Zona Metropolitana del Valle de México (EOD) 2017 were taken as a reference. The sample size was 66 625 homes, but the survey was designed with a factor that reflected all trips in the entire Metropolitan Area of ​​the Valley of Mexico (ZMVM). The survey captured trips made on weekdays and on Saturdays, but for this research only trips made only on weekdays were considered. The results indicate that, in terms of gender, women (0.697) make more trips than men (0.668) and also that the walk-only mode is used by the low strata (0.327) and medium low (0.720), while public transport is used by the medium high stratum (.771) and private (.875) by the high stratum. In the maps, the bar graphs descriptively show that it is in the periphery of the ZMVM where women make the most trips. Regarding the trips by socioeconomic strata, the low stratum represents 0.9 %, the low medium 54.5 %, the high medium 31.2 % and the high 13.4 %. It is concluded that the role of women in the dynamics of the home is very active, regardless of the socioeconomic stratum, due to the large number of functions in which it is involved.
