“…For the built environment factors impacting children’s travelling mode choice, LaRouche et al concluded that school traffic intervention may improve students’ school travel mode choice [ 12 ]. Medeiros et al noted that “school travel planning” may help to change the mode of school traffic and facilitate students’ active traffic [ 13 ]. Individual and family characteristics, parents’ characteristics, and attitudes impact children’s decision to actively go to school as well [ 14 , 15 , 16 ].…”

Since the reform and opening up of China, the rural built environment has changed dramatically. There is a need to understand how such changes have impacted rural children’s school travel mode choice to design the built environment and plan schools accordingly. This paper combines field measurement methods and questionnaires to obtain data on rural children’s school travel behavior and uses the multinomial logit (MNL) model to investigate the impacting factors. The results show the following insights: Age has a significant positive impact on children’s choice of bicycles and buses. The improvements in road layout and facility conditions are significantly and positively associated with children’s choice of electric bicycles for school. There is a significant positive correlation between a good and safe public environment and children’s choice of cycling. Furthermore, distance from home to school has a significant impact on the choice of children’s school travel mode: the greater the distance to school, the higher the probability that children will choose motorized modes of travel such as buses and private cars. This study provides empirical data and evidence in designing rural transport systems for school children based on their preferences concerning built environment factors.

“…To examine the determinants of school travel mode choices, we developed an empirical econometric model by a multinomial logistic (MNL) approach. is approach has been intensively used in studies on travel mode choices [7,11,13,15]. e dependent variable is travel mode, including five options, namely, walk, bicycle, bus, school bus, and car.…”

“…Guliani et al [16] also reminded policy-makers of the gendered nature of school travel behavior. Medeiros et al [15] emphasized the importance of 'subgroup' analysis on assessing the equity effect and improving the utility and applicability of policy intervention. In this study, the focus should be done on how to provide more targeted policies for private schools to mitigate school inequities.…”

Understanding school travel inequities and promoting active travel policies more effectively is an increasingly important issue in the international transport policy agenda. Using the dataset of the 2014 Shenzhen primary and secondary school travel survey, this study empirically revealed the permanent residence permit (hukou) system in the context of China shapes the evident inequities between students from public schools and private schools. Students without a legitimated hukou to local areas suffer from more constraints, longer distances, and more time to access private schools which are excluded from the public sponsorship and have disadvantages in geographical locations. Applying the ordered logistic model, this study specifically investigated the influential factors of school commuting travel mode. Household vehicle ownership and travel features (i.e., chauffeuring and home-school distance) have a much more significant role in school travel mode decisions, which largely surpassed the role individual demographic attributes and the school surrounding built environment play. The implications of this study shed light on making more specific strategies for private schools to mitigate mobility inequity imposed on disadvantaged students.
