Funded Activity Summary

Understanding the automobility decisions of Australian millennials. The aim of this project is to understand the decision-making of young Australians regarding driver licensing and car travel. After decades of growth in car use, young adults are now becoming less likely to get a licence and drive cars. This reduction in car dependence provides an opportunity to reduce road deaths and injuries, road congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. Understanding how and why young adults make decisions about their current and future car mobility could support this societal transformation and enhance sustainability and well-being.
