A substantial literature examines the social and environmental correlates of walking to school but less addresses walking outside the school commute.

| description | A substantial literature examines the social and environmental correlates of walking to school but less addresses walking outside the school commute. Using travel diary data from London, we examined social and environmental correlates of walking: to school; outside the school commute during term time; and during the summer and weekends. Living in a household without a car was associated with all journey types; ‘Asian’ ethnicity was negatively associated with walking for non-school travel; environmental factors were associated with non-school journeys, but not the school commute. Interventions aiming to increase children's active travel need to take account of the range of journeys they make.
► Correlates of children's non-school and school commute walking differ in London. ► Environmental factors are correlated with non-school, but not school, trips. ► ‘Asian’ ethnicity is negatively associated with non-school, but not school, trips. ► The social meaning of walking may be significant in predicting travel behaviour. ► Increasing non-school active travel by children may require different strategies. |
