Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the connections between availability of
transportation for youth and their well-being. I have collected data in the form of
interviews from youth, young adults, and adults in Benzie County, Michigan. The study
is specifically focused on transportation in rural areas and participation in extracurricular
activities that contribute to positive youth development. The results showed that
transportation is a limiting factor when it comes to utilization of extracurricular activities
that improve social development for youth. Although many youth in Benzie County are
participating these activities, there are many more who could be taking advantage of the
opportunities if transportation were available.
