Abstract:This project represented ongoing research into the relationship of the built environment and
travel behavior of older baby boomers(for the purposes of the research, we focus on baby
boomers aged 55 to 64, so-called “leading edge” baby boomers). Our previous project phases
focused on suburban areas of Boston, with a particular focus on identifying variation across
‘traditional’ suburban neighborhoods and nearby age-restricted neighborhoods. This particular
research phase turned to the more urban settings of Boston, specifically the cities of: Boston,
Cambridge, Somerville, and Brookline. We had two basic objectives:
• Understand the relationships between the built environment and baby boomers’ “active
travel” (walking and biking) in urban areas, including understanding the relationships
with traffic risk.
• Understand the differences in travel behavior betweem urban and suburban boomers.
