Commuting Time and Household Responsibilities: Evidence Using Propensity Score Matching (2016, neutral): “First, as argued by Crane (2007), understanding the effect of women’s roles on their commute lengths may help predict future housing and work-place location preferences, depending on their household responsibilities and lifestyles, and it can also help predict future location decisions of employers…”
Gendered key events in the life course: effects on changes in travel mode choice over time (2014, background): “…to be complementary rather than competitive with no author championing one hypothesis to the exclusion of all others (see Hanson and Pratt, 1995; Law, 1999; MacDonald, 1999; Hamilton and Jenkins, 2000; Blumen, 2000; Clark and Wang, 2005; Crane, 2007; Sandow, 2008 for wellbalanced discussions).”
Women-Only Transportation: How “Pink” Public Transportation Changes Public Perception of Women’s Mobility (2013, neutral): “It focuses on how public transportation limits women’s equal access to urban resources (Amedee 2005; Blumen 2010; Crane 2007) and how this problem is being addressed by issuing transportation alternatives for women.”
Commuting times - The role of gender, children and part-time work (2012, neutral): “…women's and men's commuting times have been converging although social and cultural issues linked to gender still play an important role in explanations of labour market dynamics and travel (Crane, 2007; Law, 1999), possibly influenced to converging wage rates for younger male and female workers.”
Gender Differences in Job Search: Trading off COMMUTE AGAINST WAGE* (2020, background): “Gender differences in commuting time/distance have been documented in the urban planning (MacDonald 1999; Crane 2007) and the health and well-being literature (Stutzer and Frey 2008; Roberts, Hodgson, and Dolan 2011; Clark et al. 2019) but have not been analyzed in relation to the gender wage gap.2…”
Household structure and gender differences in travel time: spouse/partner presence, parenthood, and breadwinner status (2017, background): “Such expectation has motivated scholarly interest in empirically reexamining gender differences in travel behavior in recent years (Crane 2007; Crane and Takahashi 2009; Gossen and Purvis 2004; Liu et al. 2012; Rosenbloom 2004; Sang et al. 2011; Scheiner and Holz-Rau 2012a, b; Weinberger 2007; Fränd”
Nonwork Accessibility as a Social Equity Indicator (2015, background): “Policy makers and researchers have a long tradition of placing great emphasis on understanding journey-to-work commutes (Shen 2000; Roberto 2008; McLafferty and Preston 1997; Crane 2007; Hamilton and Röell 1982; Pisarski 2006; Rosenbloom 1992; Sanchez 2004).”
Women’s complex daily lives: a gendered look at trip chaining and activity pattern entropy in Germany (2017, background): “This is a long-standing and consistent finding that refers primarily to commuting (Crane 2007; Sandow 2008; McQuaid and Chen 2012; Hjorthol and Vagane 2014) but also to shopping and leisure trips (Naess 2008; Scheiner 2010).”
Gendered travel mode choice: a focus on car deficient households (2012, background): “For the USA, Crane (2007) (while focusing on commute distance and commute duration) finds convergence in commute mode choice over the period 1985 to 2005 in that women's transit use has declined faster than men's.”
