Teenagers' travel behavior and their transportation needs and preferences were investigated in three working class Boston suburbs having different levels of transit service. Fifty male high school students met in weekly panels to discuss where, when, how, and why they traveled, how much it cost them, and other travel-related information. The report recommends long-term, direct participation of all traveler subgroups in transportation planning and management. Expanded programs to improve pedestrian facilities and ease access to automobile travel are concluded to be most likely to satisfy the travel requirements of the teenager subgroup.
