Transportation is an integral part of family life. We are both shaped by and shaping our transportation choices, which in turn have implications for the well-being of families and the sustainability of society. This session begins with a foundational discussion on cultural perceptions of automobility and its implications on sustainability. The session then transitions to in-depth examinations into the relationships between sustainability and family transportation choices, such as ridesharing and children's commute to school.
