GLOBAL TRENDS Youth Mobility
![Page 3: Changing youth mobility practices: a transformative pathway towards transport efficiency](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/558e412c1a28ab5f4d8b457d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Global youth mobility trends
• Declining youth licensing rates (average 0.6%/year)
• Decreasing kilometres travelled
• Decreasing rates of car ownership.

Why is this important?
• Sustainable mobility: sustainable, equitable and efficient transport system
Multiple co-benefits:
• Contribution to GHG emissions
• Health concerns/ obesity
• Safety/ traffic accidents
• Social equity & inclusion/exclusion

DRIVERS OF YOUTH MOBILITY PRACTICES
Youth Mobility
![Page 15: Changing youth mobility practices: a transformative pathway towards transport efficiency](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/558e412c1a28ab5f4d8b457d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Explanations for changing youth mobility practices:
• Increasing use of ICT and social networking as travel substitution
• The Global Financial Crisis and youth unemployment
• Shifting perceptions of private car ownership/ willingness to use alternative modes
• Environmental concerns
• Changing ‘rite of passage’ events – from driving to the OE?

Reasons for getting driver’s licence
Factors deemed to be very important:

Factors deemed to be important:
• ‘To go out with mates’
• ‘To help parents’

Themes included:
• Attitudes to driving and licensing
• Mobile phone and internet use
• Importance and value of mobile phones

ICT & driving demographics

Importance of internet & cars
![Page 23: Changing youth mobility practices: a transformative pathway towards transport efficiency](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/558e412c1a28ab5f4d8b457d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Attitudes about cars and driving [1]
![Page 24: Changing youth mobility practices: a transformative pathway towards transport efficiency](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/558e412c1a28ab5f4d8b457d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Attitudes about cars and driving [2]
![Page 25: Changing youth mobility practices: a transformative pathway towards transport efficiency](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/558e412c1a28ab5f4d8b457d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Attitudes to ICT & cars Attitudes are (mostly) unrelated to being old enough to drive
* = students with driver’s licenses were more likely to agree

A transformative pathway? • Averages can hide important sub-group variation,
and opportunities for change
• Understanding changing youth mobility practices could provide a transformative pathway towards a more sustainable, efficient and equitable transport system
• We need a greater understanding of changes and ways to facilitate and support youth travel demands
• Next steps include: a full survey of Dunedin high school students and interviews with 18-25 year olds in Dunedin, Auckland and Telford.
