SCHOOL BUS TRAVEL AS A FIXED ACTIVITY IN THE DELIVERY OF REGIONAL SCHOOL SERVICES TO HOUSEHOLDS IN QUEBEC, CANADA

For students and their families that live within the regional school system of Quebec, travel to school has become a "fixed" activity. Households operate within a complex system of time, distance and accessibility constraints in adapting to the impact of the fixed bus schedule. This paper will focus on how these factors affect the perceptions and behaviours of these households.
