604 street reproductive-aged women were interviewed in the study which make the response rate 94.2%. The study revealed that current modern contraceptive utilization among the study participants was found to be 38.9%. Having history of pregnancy in street life (AOR = 1.70, 1.1-2.7), having three or more live children (AOR = 6.4, 2.0-20.4), undesiring to have additional children in the future (AOR = 2.7, 1.4-5.1), mentioning three to four (AOR = 2.2, 1.5-3.3) and five or more modern contraceptive types (AOR = 5.5, 1.4-21.0), and discussion with sexual partners for contraceptive use (AOR = 6.6, 4.3-10.1) were variables significantly associated with modern contraceptive utilization. Modern contraceptive utilization among the street reproductive-aged women was low. Authors suggest that awareness creation and male partner involvement in the maternal services may be important to increase contraceptive utilization.
