TRB Webinar: Understanding Changes in Youth Mobility
TRB conducted a webinar on Wednesday, September 6, 2017 from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM that featured research from the
National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP)’s Project 08-36, which resulted in a TRB project
report.
This webinar discussed the changing mobility patterns of teens and young adults and the linkages to economic, social, and health effects. The presenters highlighted current best practices in transportation planning that address youth mobility and identified potential strategies to better align planned and existing transportation systems with the needs of this demographic.
