Children's Attitudes to Sustainable Transport Report and Research
Finding No 174
Please find attached the link to the above reports and research
findings
http://www.scotland.gov.uk/library5/transport/cast.pdf
"Much of the existing research understanding about attitudes towards sustainable transport
relates to adults. Little is currently known about the attitudes of young people towards
sustainability, particularly in relation to transport choice, and how these attitudes affect
behaviour. The influences on children from parents, schools, peers, the media, advertising
and other factors may give conflicting perspectives on sustainable transport. The aim of this
study is to provide a better understanding of how children resolve these conflicts within the
context of their own lifestyles."

"The aim of this project was to improve understanding of
the role environmental education plays in influencing the
attitudes of young children and teenagers to sustainable
transport issues."
