Abstract
Recent studies show that inequalities in transport infrastructure negatively impact educational performance. This article presents a model that indicates the factors associated with the adoption of Active School Transportation (AST)for the city of São Paulo. The results of the multinomial logistic regression showhow the adoption of active transportationby students is explained by parents’ active commuting, car ownership, distance, and indirect route. They also highlight the school bus distribution policy and its risks, considering the competition between school buses and active commuting modes.
