Paths that connect: walking and cycling to school as an indicator of the level of social connectedness and trust in school communities

Abstract

Little is known about travel behaviour to Catholic schools, which the current study sets out to address. Therefore, this paper will 1. describe the current levels of active transport (AT) and independent mobility (IM) to / from school; 2. examine associations between distance and AT and IM to / from school, and 3. explore the socio-demographic factors influencing AT and IM to / from school including sex and urban classification. Lastly, it will examine the attitudes and levels of trust in their neighbourhood through the various licences that they have to travel around independently. It compares these results with results of previous studies, and draws some conclusions about the relationships between social connectedness and the levels of active transport and independent mobility in those communities.
