Abstract

This paper reports on a study that was conducted to investigate the characteristics of student travel behaviors before the implementation of a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program. It also seeks to identify the influential factors that affect the number of children who walk or bike to school. As part of the Florida SRTS program, a pilot survey was conducted for both students and parents in Hillsborough County, Florida before the program started. Student survey results showed that student demographic characteristics such as grade, gender, the number of children in the family, and the distance from home to school influence their travel mode to school. Parent's subjective opinions were also significantly associated with student's travel mode to school. Distance, intersection safety and weather/climate were considered affective on a parent's decision on whether to allow their child to walk or bike to school.
确定影响步行或骑自行车上学的学生人数的因素
本文报告了一项研究,该研究旨在调查学生在实施安全路线上学(SRTS)计划之前的旅行行为特征。它还试图确定影响步行或骑自行车上学的儿童人数的影响因素。作为佛罗里达州SRTS计划的一部分,在计划开始之前,对佛罗里达州希尔斯伯勒县的学生和家长进行了一项试点调查。学生调查结果显示,学生的年级、性别、家庭子女数量、家到学校的距离等人口统计学特征影响了他们的上学出行方式。家长的主观意见与学生的上学出行方式也有显著相关。距离、十字路口安全和天气/气候被认为是影响家长决定让孩子步行还是骑自行车上学的因素。
