An important aspect of intrahousehold interactions–-joint travel arrangements that arise when adult household members escort children to school–-is investigated. Previously published research on intrahousehold interactions have focused mostly on time allocation or episode generation between individual and joint activities and have largely been limited to interactions between household heads. Insights into the less-explored aspect of intrahousehold interactions between adults and children in the household are provided. Children are explicitly considered active agents in the intrahousehold decision making, and the interaction itself takes the form of a joint travel arrangement rather than a shared activity. A statistical analysis indicates the importance of this segment of intrahousehold interactions in the overall system of household activity and travel. A choice model, which is formulated and estimated, relates the probability of various types of ridesharing and escorting to the person, household, and zonal variables. The developed model is designed for possible inclusion in the regional travel model system being developed for the Atlanta (Georgia) Regional Commission.
