N2  - Walking to school is a healthy and cheap mode of travel yet most of the children do not start their day with this activity.     The cross- sectional survey uses a sample of parents of children (9-12 years old) from public primary schools in Tehran; to examine if socio-economic factors moderate the relationship between parental perception of traffic safety and children travel to school.     Results from Multinomial Logistic Models show that, the numbers of cars in a household and household income are the two main moderators.     The findings also show parental perceptions of traffic safety vary across different socio-economic status areas.<p />
