Abstract
(en) Encouraging sustainable travel behavior in emerging adults is important because this transport choice might persist into adulthood. However, research on transport habits in emerging adulthood is scarce. This study aimed to examine potential differences in walking, cycling, car use and public transport use between three groups of emerging adults (secondary school students (17–18 yrs), studying young adults (18–25 yrs) and working young adults (18–25 yrs)), and to investigate differences in choice of transport modes within each of the three groups according to gender, SES and living environment.
