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).”
Why Parents Drive Children to School: Implications for Safe Routes to School Programs (2009, background): “Over the same time period, the proportion of children being driven or driving themselves to school rose from less than 20% to 55% (Ham, Martin, & Kohl, 2008; McDonald, 2007).”
Children’s mode choice for the school trip: the role of distance and school location in walking to school (2007, background): “In 1969, 42% of American students walked or biked to school (Beschen 1972); by 2001 that number had dropped to less than 15% (McDonald 2007a).”
Adolescents' perceptions of cycling versus walking to school: Understanding the New Zealand context (2017, background): “8 point scale (1=least deprived to 10=most deprived) into five categories: lowest (1-2), middle-low (3-4), middle (5-6), middle-high (7-8) and highest (9-10) deprivation score.”
Walking to school: Community design and child and parent barriers (2011, background): “We ask whether a new walkable community design can support more school walks, despite national declines in walking to school (McDonald, 2007a) and general trends toward protectiveness among parents (Carver et al., 2005).”
Household interactions and children’s school travel: the effect of parental work patterns on walking and biking to school (2008, background): “There have been well-documented declines in walking to school in the United States and the United Kingdom in recent decades ( McDonald, 2007; Pooley et al., 2005).”
Independent Mobility and Mode Choice for School Transportation: A Review and Framework for Future Research (2013, background): “Within this context, then, it is concerning that AST rates have declined across Western countries, at least during the last three decades (Buliung, Mitra, & Faulkner, 2009; Grize, Bringolf-Isler, Martin, & Braun-Fahrländer, 2010; McDonald, 2007; van der Ploeg, Merom, Corpuz, & Bauman, 2008).”
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…”
