Children’s Active Transportation is a rigorous and comprehensive examination of the current research and interventions on active transportation for children and youth. As the travel behaviors of these groups tend to be highly routinized, and their mobility faces unique constraints, such as parental restrictions, mandatory school attendance, and the inability to drive a motor vehicle before late adolescence, this book examines the key factors that influence travel behavior among children and youth, providing key insights into lessons learned from current interventions. Readers will find a resource that clearly demonstrates how critical it is for children to develop strong, active transportation habits that carry into adulthood. Discusses the correlates that exist between children’s active transportation using a social and ecological model Summarizes active transportation interventions that show what works to increase non-motorized modes of travel in children Describes the factors that influence the implementation and effectiveness of interventions

Drawing on an innovative project exploring current mobility transition policies and practices in 14 countries around the world, including key institutions such as the European Union and the United Nations, this book provides a critique of current transitions, mobility and transport policies. The authors consider how our mobility futures have been imagined, what they will potentially look and feel like, what lives we might live in them and what choices we might have to make to get there.

If, as Wallace Stegner said, the national park is “the best idea we ever had,” the rail-trail is certainly a close runner-up. Part transportation corridor, part park, the rail-trail has revolutionized the way America creates high-quality, car-free pathways for bicyclists, runners, walkers, equestrians, and more. It was only a few decades after railroad barons had run roughshod over America’s economy and politics that they began to shed nearly one hundred thousand miles of unneeded railroad corridor. At the same time, bicyclists were being so thoroughly pushed off ever-more-intimidating roadways they came close to extinction. Through political organizing and lawyerly grit, an unlikely, formerly marginalized advocacy arose, seized on seemingly worthless strips of land, and created a resource that is treasured by millions of Americans today for recreation, purposeful travel, tourism, conservation, and historical interpretation. From Rails to Trails is the fascinating tale of the rails-to-trails movement as well as a consideration of what the continued creation of rail-trails means for the future of Americans’ health, nonmotorized transportation networks, and communities across the country.

Long-term economic growth and increasing vehicle congestion is creating a greater demand for efficient and safe transportation. The high cost of maintaining and fixing pre-existing infrastructure is leading the industry to realize that sustainable long-term transportation planning is needed to keep pace with the growing economy. Building a Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure for Long-Term Economic Growth examines contemporary transportation issues through the lens of various modes of transportation while also focusing on the importance of sustainability, urban planning, and funding. The book covers the topics of sustainability and climate change, public management and planning, financing of transportation infrastructure, and revenue and spending issues facing modern transportation infrastructure. It is ideally designed for engineers, planners, government officials, transportation specialists, legislators, researchers, academicians, students, and industry professionals seeking current research on sustainable transport systems.

Increases in per capita vehicle usage and associated emissions, along with decreases in physical activity, have initiated renewed examination of the ways in which our communities are developing. Automobile exhaust contains precursors to ozone and fine particulate matter, posing health risks, while dependency on car commuting also reduces physical fitness opportunities. In fact, transport-related inactivity, i.e. the use of motorized transport rather than walking and bicycling, has been linked to increased mortality and decreases in healthy life years, with the greatest impacts on chronic diseases. Recent research has begun to focus on the link between physical activity, public health, and the built environment in an effort to address the increasing rates of overweight, obesity and chronic diseases; yet, there is not as much evidence on active transportation. This dissertation attempts to fill some of the gaps in research on built environment affects on active transportation. In the first paper, I address the individual and environmental correlates of active transportation behavior. Our findings suggest that active transportation behaviors are likely to be associated with individuals' perceptions of their built environment, but primarily with the presence of proximal destinations, trails, and streets supportive of bicycling and walking. In the next paper, I develop a composite "active transportation" index that includes both connectivity and proximity measures, which builds off previous walkability indices, but also includes measures of bikeability, and public transit. My findings drive future policy decisions focused on the facilitation of utilitarian transport. Last, I examine the many air quality, physical fitness, economic, and global climate change mitigating affects of replacing short car trips with bicycle trips in the eleven largest cities in the Upper Midwest. My findings suggest that significant health and economic benefits are possible. This dissertation offers evidence supporting a priority to transform communities so as to provide alternative transportation options to motorized vehicle use, and in favor of community investments that get people moving, such as bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure improvements and mixed-use developments.
