abstract: 'In the United States, low-income and minority teens are less likely than
their affluent and white peers to engage in structured activities like
team sports, clubs, and paid work. This gap is problematic because teens
who participate earn higher grades, are less likely to drop out of high
school, and are more likely to enroll in college. While scholars in
other fields focus on program availability and affordability, this paper
asks: Could transportation barriers keep some teens from participating?
To answer that question, we analyze data on the travel and time use of
teens ages 15 to 18 from the American Time Use Survey (2004 to 2018). We
find that teens who use a car are far more likely than otherwise similar
teens who walk, bike, or ride public transit to participate in
extramurals, athletics, and paid work. Because minority and low-income
teens are less likely to have a car or a driver''s license, they are less
likely to use a car on the survey day. This restricts their ability to
participate. What is worse, gaps in automobility have widened over time,
particularly by income. While this cross-sectional data cannot
definitively indicate causality, we draw on the modal mismatch and
transportation disadvantage literatures to interpret these findings.
Many teens, particularly low-income and minority teens-cannot reliably
access structured activities.'
