Abstract

The Department for Transport's mobility and Inclusion Unit commissioned this study in order to investigate young people's travel use and experiences. As current customers, and future users of public and other modes of transport, young people's views are key in understanding how services should be developed. This study aims to explore the importance of travel and any barriers to travel or different modes of transport. In addition, young people were askes how they would like to be, or are, involved in transport decision making. The three broad objectives of the research were to: investigate the transport needs and requirements of young people, understand the range of transport provision available to young people and recommend ways in which young people can become more involved in developing policies and decisions about providing services.
