چکیده
School choice policy has implications for school travel as it allows students to attend schools farther from their residence than their neighborhood schools. This paper uses a case study from Oregon to investigate how school choice aff ects parents’ school travel decision making and the degree to which school choice aff ects children’s walking or biking to school. The research shows that school choice is associated with lengthened school travel distance and parents’ greater willingness to drive their children to school even within a short distance. The research suggests that school choice could hinder the eff ectiveness of such programs as Safe Routes to School.
