The transition to parenthood is a significant change in life stage. It disrupts habitual travel behaviour and provides a valuable opportunity to influence the adoption of sustainable transport practices. To effectively promote sustainable travel patterns, it is crucial to understand the factors that influence mobility choices during this transition. However, while much is known about how travel behaviour changes during this period, there is little research explaining the processes by which car-based mobility practices are adopted. Using a mixed-method approach, this research provides empirical evidence to explain why travel behaviour changes following parenthood, with an emphasis on public transit use.
