Factors influencing travel mode choice among families with young children (aged 0–4): a review of the literature (2017, background): “…(Buliung, Mitra, & Faulkner, 2009; Faulkner, Buliung, Flora, & Fusco, 2009; Fyhri, Hjorthol, Mackett, Fotel, & Kyttä, 2011; Larsen et al., 2009; McDonald, 2007; McMillan, 2007), this literature does not focus on the valuable opportunity presented by the disruption to household travel habits…”
A joint model for mode choice and escort decisions of school trips (2015, methodology): “Most studies (McDonald 2008a; McMillan et al. 2006) have noted that boys’ propensity to use active modes are higher than girls’.”
Independent Mobility and Mode Choice for School Transportation: A Review and Framework for Future Research (2013, background): “…within the household activity-travel framework (Black et al., 2001; McDonald, 2008a; McMillan, 2005; Yarlagadda & Srinivasan, 2008), only a few have explored the influence of caregiver activity-travel constraints on AST (McDonald, 2008a; Mitra & Buliung, 2012b; Yarlagadda & Srinivasan, 2008).”

Built Environment and School Travel Mode Choice in Toronto, Canada (2010, methodology): “Although other studies have also reported a correlation between age and school travel (15, 16), this research found that age-related effects on mode choice were particularly strong in the afternoon compared with the morning period trips (Tables 4 and 5).”
