“…Alarmingly, car ownership is rapidly growing, with severe repercussions on congestion, parking, and pollution ( OECD, 2018 ). On the positive side, the use of e-bikes is growing among Hanoi children – mirroring trends in other Vietnamese cities such as Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City ( Vu and Man Nguyen, 2018 ).…”

This is among the first studies to provide empirical evidence on active school travel rates and determinants before and after the first Covid-19 lockdown in spring 2020. We have collected and analyzed primary survey data on the school travel patterns of 472 school-age children in Hanoi, Vietnam. The findings show that the Covid-19 pandemic has been quite detrimental: once schools reopened, the prevalence of active school travel decreased from 53% to less than 31%. Where parents, especially mothers, did not face barriers to motorized travel, they assumed the role of chauffeur. Parents who were more concerned about community infections were more motivated to shift children to motorized modes. Walking was more affected than cycling because it was seen as more likely to lead to physical contact and virus transmission. Active school travel dropped more steeply in urban districts (as opposed to poorer, non-urban districts) and in those areas where home-school distances were the largest. It appears that the most common perceptions around barriers to active school travel have been exacerbated during the pandemic as parents and children adapt to “the new normal”.

“…Figures 4-6 illustrate the young motorcyclists using motorcycles for school purposes at secondary schools in Padang. However, motorcycles are also used by young motorcyclists for other purposes such as working, shopping and social trips; hence, young motorcyclist-related RTA could also occur outside or after school hours [30].…”

“…It is essential since the prominent negative impact of motorcycles on road users is a high number of motorcycle-related RTA and its death, especially among young or student motorcyclists. Since young motorcyclists are often involved in RTA and are susceptible to injuries due to RTA [27], several researches have been undertaken to focus on young motorcyclists such as university and college students [7], [28], Secondary school students [29], RTA related to children [30], and RTA involving urban area children [31].…”

Motorcycle numbers in Indonesia are growing rapidly and contribute 84.4% of total motor vehicles. The death numbers from road traffic accidents (RTA) involving motorcycles also increase to 74% of the deaths, including young motorcyclists. WHO reported that RTA is the leading cause of death for people aged between 5-29 years. A series of Revealed and Stated Preference surveys have been undertaken to explore the characteristics of young motorcyclist trips and their behaviors towards three different virtual parking schemes aimed at finding the best parking schemes to control motorcycle usage among young motorcyclists. Therefore, the number of young motorcyclist-related RTA could be reduced. The finding suggests that young motorcyclists preferred using off-street parking over on-street parking. The preferred distance between parking premises and activity centers is less than 50 meters. The offstreet parking would be selected instead of the on-street parking, although its price is higher. The Willingness to pay for each proposed parking scheme is IDR 3,373, IDR 3,509, and IDR 3,618. It is below the ability to pay, which is IDR 4,100. Thus, an on-street parking scheme with progressive pricing and a minimum base price of IDR 5,000 is proposed, where at least 30% of parking lots should be allocated for short-term parking. Finally, the proposed parking scheme must be supported by reliable public transport services based on the young motorcyclist preferences, which would be the direction of future research.
