AI-generated Abstract

This research investigates the impact of physical environment and sociodemographic factors on children's travel mode to and from school. It highlights the significance of built environment features, such as land use mix, street connectivity, and residential density, in shaping travel behaviors. Results indicate that shorter distances to school, better land use mixes, and positive neighborhood attributes (e.g., street trees) encourage active travel among children.
