Children’s travel lies at the heart of the policy debates on public health, urban design, and transportation planning. This study will describe and analyze the general patterns of children’s travel. The researcher will investigate the influences of parent, child, household characteristics, and the built environment on non-motorized travel to school. Data from the National Household Travel Survey supplemented with census information will provide examples of behavior across a range of built environments, household types, and socioeconomic conditions. The goal of this research is to identify the factors that influence the decision to use non-motorized transport to get to school. The results will be useful in developing policies around school transportation, particularly ones that encourage walking and biking, and in understanding how the presence of children constrains adult travel.
