Study (NPTS) 1995, 1997Annual VMT by Age Group and Gender, United States, 1995There is a clear variation in mobility according to age and gender.
The peak mobility age is around 40 years when individuals are in
their most productive years and fully employed. The gender differences
in mobility can be linked to various factors such as vocational differences,
income differences as well as a more conventional role assumed by woman in
several households. This gap is however less acute among younger age
groups.
