Women often lead in sustainable travel, primarily using methods like walking, cycling, and public transit in areas with strong infrastructure. These habits are crucial for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in transit-oriented cities. However, as women age, their use of active transportation tends to decline due to complex daily schedules that require travel outside peak times. Improving the built environment, including expanding sidewalks, implementing traffic calming measures around schools, and establishing bike lanes on school routes, can enhance the safety of women and families.
