An objective of the Built Environment and Active Play Study was to assess youth AT, including public transportation, among Washington, DC area children in relation to parental perceptions of neighborhood built environment (BE) variables.\n                    <jats:bold>Methods<\/jats:bold>\n                    : Questionnaires were mailed to 2000 parents of children aged 7\u201312 years. AT to school (ATS) was assessed with the question: \u201cIn an average school week, how many days does your child use each of the following ways to get to and from school? (a)\u00a0Walk; (b) Bike; (c)\u00a0Car; (d)\u00a0Bus or Metro.\u201d Parental perceived BE data were obtained through questionnaire items, and logistic regression was conducted to determine if BE variables were associated with youth ATS.\n                    <jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\n                    : The sample included 144 children (50% female; average age 9.7 years; 56.3% white; 23.7% African American; 10.4% Asian American).
