Built Environment and School Travel Mode Choice in Toronto, Canada (2010, background): “On the basis of current empirical evidence and informed somewhat by theoretical research on both adults’ and children’s travel (13, 26), five conceptual domains were identified to articulate the ways in which the built environment may moderate the decision to take an active mode (i.”
A joint model for mode choice and escort decisions of school trips (2015, methodology): “Due to the importance of the commute distance variable in urban policy-making and design, some studies (McMillan 2007; McDonald 2008a) have gone even further by introducing a critical distance for using the walking mode.”
Household interactions and children’s school travel: the effect of parental work patterns on walking and biking to school (2008, background): “These finding extend previous research showing mothers often have primary responsibility for children’s travel (Raux and Rosenbloom, 1986; Rosenbloom, 1987; Rosenbloom and Burns, 1993) and that parental convenience is an important criteria for mode choice (Bradshaw, 1995; Joshi and Maclean, 1995; M”

Does the walkability of neighbourhoods affect children's independent mobility, independent of parental, socio-cultural and individual factors? (2014, background): “…levels in children (Alexander et al. 2005; Sirard et al. 2005; Cooper et al. 2006; Saksvig et al. 2007; Landsberg et al. 2008), however children’s active transport (AT) levels have declined rapidly in the last 20 years (Harten and Olds 2004; Salmon et al. 2005; McDonald 2007; McMillan 2007).”
Where Do Children Travel to and What Local Opportunities Are Available? The Relationship Between Neighborhood Destinations and Children’s Independent Mobility (2013, background): “Despite declines in recent decades (Harten & Olds, 2004; McDonald, 2007; McMillan, 2007), participating in active transport (i.e., walking or cycling for transport to destinations) contributes to children’s overall physical activity levels (Alexander et al., 2005; Cooper et al., 2006; Landsberg et…”

Why Parents Drive Children to School: Implications for Safe Routes to School Programs (2009, result): “This decline reflects the relative time advantage of autos as trip distance increases and is consistent with previous research highlighting the importance of distance (McDonald, 2008a; McMillan, 2007; Schlossberg et al., 2006; Yarlagadda & Srinivasan, 2008).”
Independent Mobility and Mode Choice for School Transportation: A Review and Framework for Future Research (2013, background): “Multiple studies have reported that a child was more likely to be driven to/from school when caregivers viewed cars to be a convenient and socially acceptable mode of transportation (Faulkner et al., 2010; Lang et al., 2011; McMillan, 2007; McMillan et al., 2006; Panter et al., 2010b; Trapp et al., ”
