  • a Walking mode includes walking alone. Bicycle mode includes walking to a road and use of a bicycle. Motorized transportation modes (motorcycle, 4-wheeled vehicles) include walking to the road and use of a motorized transportation thereafter.

  • b Relative % change (% change) is calculated by the formula, ((p2-p1)/p1)*100.

  • c Asterisks indicate significance level of the % change between baseline and endline, calculated using z scores: *** P<.01, ** P<.05, NS = not significant.
