Youth on the move

Abstract

Key messages1. Choices and constraints: Young people have different needs, expectations and constraints regarding transport than other age groups. Their mobility choices depend on a combination of socio-economic factors and limited resources.2. Transport's future: Young people's travel behaviour and aspirations could influence how sustainable transport will become in the long run.3. Give youth a voice: Young people's views rarely figure in transport policy decisions. Traditional transport planning does not always consider their needs. Involving young people in transport planning and decision-making could better align solutions with the challenges.
