A multi-level analysis of sustainable mobility transitions: Niche development in the UK and Sweden (2008, background): “Furthermore, car ownership continues to be a facet of social status, and is often associated with having a good standard of living [32].”
Household interactions and children’s school travel: the effect of parental work patterns on walking and biking to school (2008, result): “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”
Modeling children’s school travel mode and parental escort decisions (2008, background): “Issues like ‘‘car-centeredness’’ of parents, their environmental awareness and perceived parking difficulties at school also affect mode choice for school travel (Black et al. 2001) and parents who indicate that they worry about their children (getting lost, abducted, etc.”
Travel-to-school mode choice modelling and patterns of school choice in urban areas (2008, background): “Recent studies concerning travel-to-school mode choice utilizing MNL have been focused on urban form, built environment and distance (McMillan, 2003; Black et al., 2004) as well as travel-time (Woodside et al., 2002; Ewing et al., 2004; McDonald, 2005).”
Children’s mode choice for the school trip: the role of distance and school location in walking to school (2007, background): “Studies in the United States (McMillan 2007; McDonald 2007b; Schlossberg et al. 2006), the United Kingdom (Black et al. 2001), and Australia (Timperio et al. 2006) have shown distance to be a critical factor in children’s travel.”
Active commuting to school: Associations with environment and parental concerns. (2006, background): “Parental safety concerns such as travel distance, traffic, and crime have been associated with inactive commuting ( 3 ,6,25).”
Independent Mobility and Mode Choice for School Transportation: A Review and Framework for Future Research (2013, background): “research on travel behaviour, for most part, has largely explored attitudes/ preferences as control or confounding variables (Black et al., 2001; Cao et al., 2009; Ewing & Cervero, 2010).”
School Location and Student Travel Analysis of Factors Affecting Mode Choice (2004, background): “(20) speculated that the choice of travel mode for the school trip is an integral part of the household decision-making process.”
Behavioural responses to climate change: Asymmetry of intentions and impacts (2009, background): “Firstly, domestic energy use and travel choices are intrinsically related to social identity, status and norms (Layton et al., 1993; Steg et al., 2001; Exley & Christie, 2002; Black et al., 2001).”
Promoting walking and bicycling: assessing the evidence to assist planners (2010, background): “Work on children has found that both actual and perceived distance and barriers, like busy streets, matter in the walk to school (Ewing et al., 2004; Timperio et al., 2006; Black et al., 2001; Timperio et al., 2004; CDC, 2005).”
