Independent Mobility and Mode Choice for School Transportation: A Review and Framework for Future Research (2013, background): “Other characteristics such as four-way streets with high volume of traffic and busy intersections, may produce safety concerns, and thus, may discourage independent travel and AST (Giles-Corti et al., 2011; Larsen et al., 2012; Lin & Chang, 2010; Mitra et al., 2010; Schlossberg et al., 2006).”
Household interactions and children’s school travel: the effect of parental work patterns on walking and biking to school (2008, background): “These findings confirm results from studies in Australia (Timperio et al., 2006), Oregon ( Schlossberg et al., 2006 ), Florida (Ewing and Greene, 2003), California (McMillan, 2007), England (Black et al., 2001), and the United States (McDonald, 2008a) which also found distance to be a critical facto”

Walking to school: Community design and child and parent barriers (2011, background): “Interconnected street designs, which support walkability by making routes more direct and convenient, are associated with children’s walks in some studies (Braza et al., 2004; Schlossberg et al., 2006) but not in others (Kerr et al., 2006; Timperio et al., 2006).”
Interrelations between travel mode choice and trip distance: trends in Germany 1976-2002 (2010, background): “For instance, adolescents cover considerable distances to school on foot (Schlossberg et al., 2006).”
Walking, Urban Design, and Health (2008, background): “A recent article, Schlossberg et al. (2006), examined land use along a child’s trip to school, but the choice of school locations, and possibly the path, is not a choice variable to nearly the extent that general travel destinations and paths are choice variables, making the modeling simpler than…”
