This report describes changes in the percentage of US students (age 5 to 18 years) who walked or bicycled to school and in the distance that they lived from or traveled to their school in 1969 and 2001 and travel patterns in 2001.
Data were from the 1969 National Personal Transportation Survey report on school travel and the 2001 National Household Transportation Survey.
A smaller percentage of students lived within 1 mile of school in 2001 than in 1969. The percentage of students who walked or biked any distance decreased from 42.0% to 16.2%. Nearly half of students used more than 1 travel mode or went to an additional destination en route between home and school in 2001.
Multidisciplinary efforts are needed to increase the percentage of students who walk or bike to school, as well as decrease the distances that students travel.
本报告描述了1969年和2001年美国5至18岁学生步行或骑自行车上学的比例变化、他们居住地点与学校的距离变化以及2001年的出行模式。
数据来自1969年全国个人交通调查关于上学出行的报告以及2001年全国家庭交通调查。
2001年居住在离学校1英里以内的学生比例低于1969年。步行或骑行任何距离的学生比例从42.0%降至16.2%。2001年,近一半的学生使用不止一种出行方式或在从家到学校的途中前往其他目的地。
需要多学科努力来提高步行或骑自行车上学的学生比例,并缩短学生的出行距离。
