“…In recent years, sustainable modes of transport have been promoted as a strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cars. The less-polluting modes of transport include the use of public transit and active transport, as well as car/bike sharing, carpooling and electric scooters (Echeverrı´a et al, 2022). Despite its importance, the adoption of green, sustainable modes of transport has not been homogenous across regions.…”

“… 1. The concept of ‘green commuting’ is taken from Giménez-Nadal and Molina (2019), Molina et al (2020) and Echeverría et al (2022) and refers to more sustainable modes of transport in comparison to car driving. This term is broader than ‘non-motorised’ transportation (or active travel) because it includes public transit as well. …”

Sustainable modes of transport, including both public transit and active transport, have been promoted as strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, one factor that may influence their use is related to security concerns, although prior evidence on this topic is scarce and inconclusive. We explore whether perceived security in 10 large cities in Latin America is related to mode choice for commuting. We rely on the 2017 CAF Survey implemented by the Development Bank of Latin America, where individuals report their levels of satisfaction with neighbourhood security. Our results suggest that individuals who feel more satisfied with their neighbourhood security engage in more public transit commuting, although this result holds only for male commuters. Our results suggest that strategies aimed at increasing security can alleviate concerns about neighbourhood crime, increasing the use of public transit in Latin America.

“…The percentage of commutes under 10 minutes has declined, from 10% in 2003 to 6% in 2019, while the percentage of workers who commute more than 30 minutes has risen from 42% to 51%, over the same period. 1 Commuting to/from work has also increased in recent years in several developed economies (Susilo and Maat, 2007;Kirby and LeSage, 2009;McKenzie and Rapino, 2009; Le Barbanchon et al, 2021), and it plays a central role in daily mobility planning (Gimenez-Nadal et al, 2022).…”

“…How workers travel to their workplaces (mode of transport) has important consequences for the environment, including pollution, congestion, and traffic accidents (Chapman, 2007;Buehler, 2011;Morris and Zhou, 2018). Most US workers commute by private vehicle (Gimenez-Nadal et al, 2021), and this extends to several other developed countries, as the private vehicle is the preferred mode of travel for about 75% of the OECD population (OECD, 2019;Echeverría et al, 2022). The expansion of motorized transport for daily trips has consequences for workers (Comerford, 2011), such as decreased health, but also to negative social and environmental consequences, including increased congestion, pollution, and CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions (e.g., Plaut, 2005;Shephard, 2008;Bopp et al, 2012;Long and Szeto, 2019;Vosough et al, 2020).…”

The daily mobility of older adults: Urban/rural differences in ten developed countries

This paper explores the mobility patterns of older adults in ten countries, with a focus on the differences produced by urban environments in their non-work trips. Using detailed time use diaries from the Multinational Time Use Study for the last two decades, we analyze the trips associated with leisure and housework of non-working older adults. The results show that older adults in urban areas spend more time in leisure trips than similar individuals in rural areas. On the other hand, male older adults in urban areas spend less time in housework trips than do their counterparts in rural areas. However, such correlations are found to differ by country, gender, type of trip, and mode of transport, revealing complex correlations between urban forms and older adults’ daily mobility. Furthermore, factors such as the number of railway kilometers, gross domestic product growth rates, and the percentage of urban population in the country seem to be associated with differences in the behavior of older adults in their non-work daily trips.
