Predictors of Active Transportation Among Safe Routes to School Participants in Arizona: Impacts of Distance and Income

Allison Ross et al.

Summary: The study found that factors such as student grade, parent education, asking permission to use ATS, distance, and school income can influence the likelihood of students using active transportation to school. SRTS programs may be particularly effective at low- and medium-income schools and among families living within 1/2 mile distances.

Associations between the streetscape built environment and walking to school among primary schoolchildren in Beijing, China

Xiaoge Wang et al.

Summary: This study uses travel data and street view imagery from Beijing to explore the non-linear associations between built environment attributes and the likelihood of walking to school for children. The study finds that children from higher-income families are more likely to walk to school in neighborhoods with lower walkability, while higher street enclosure is associated with higher odds of walking for all respondents. Additionally, there is a non-linear negative relationship between the odds of walking and street safety facilities. The ownership of household cars, educational attainment of parents, and household annual income also modify the association between the built environment and walking to school.

Exploring home-to-school trip mode choices in Kandy, Sri Lanka

Charitha Dias et al.

Summary: Schools are a major cause of congestion in urban areas, especially during morning peak hours. This study examines the factors influencing home-to-school trip mode choices in Kandy city, Sri Lanka, and finds that gender, age, household income, school type, and distance play a significant role in determining the school transport mode. The results can be used by transport planners and policymakers to implement congestion mitigation measures and regulate private transport modes.

Shuangzhou Chen et al.

Summary: This study examines the non-linear relationships between the built environment and functional ability of older adults, as well as the gender differences, in a typical aging Chinese society of Hong Kong. The results indicate that non-linear relationships exist between the built environment and functional ability in both gender groups, but the effects differ between males and females. This study provides valuable insights for governments to implement gender-based urban planning for healthy aging.

Impacts of earthquake knowledge and risk perception on earthquake preparedness of rural residents

Yibin Ao et al.

Summary: This study examined 5 counties and 10 villages seriously affected by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China, finding that residents with autonomous earthquake information access and those who are more sensitive about earthquakes (perceive higher risk of occurrence) tend to be better prepared for disasters. Knowledge and awareness of earthquakes have a positive impact on disaster preparedness behavior in rural earthquake-prone regions.

Neighborhood Effects of Safe Routes to School Programs on the Likelihood of Active Travel to School

Carole T. Voulgaris et al.

Summary: This study found that SRTS programs help reduce the effects of long trip distances and race on students' active school commuting, effectively reducing barriers to active travel to school. Interviews indicated that SRTS programs in the study area primarily focus on education and encouragement rather than engineering interventions.

Students' and Parents' Perceptions of Barriers to Cycling to School-An Analysis by Gender

Ross Higgins et al.

Summary: Although cycling rates have increased in certain countries, such as Ireland, women are still less likely to cycle compared to men due to factors like uniforms, traffic concerns, physical effort, appearance, and peer influence. Female parents/guardians are found to be less supportive of their daughters cycling to school compared to sons, with parents generally affording more independence in school travel choices to male children. Further research is needed to shift perceptions towards cycling efforts, especially among girls, and to encourage female parents/guardians to better support their daughters in cycling to school.

Summary: The study in Dunedin, New Zealand, identified barriers to adolescents' use of public transport for school travel, including distance, cost, parental trip-chaining, built environment features, weather, convenience, and safety perceptions. Recommendations to increase public transport use include raising parking prices, improving bus infrastructure and services, providing subsidies, and changing perceptions of public transport use and users, necessitating collaboration between government authorities at local, regional, and national levels.
