Note:
--Factors are listed from most to least influential for the 'Child does not walk/bike to school' group.
--Each column may sum to > 100% because respondent could select more than issue
--The calculation used to determine the percentage for each issue is based on the 'Number of Respondents per Category' within
the respective columns (Child does not walk/bike to school and Child walks/bikes to school.) If comparing percentages between
the two columns, please pay particular attention to each column's number of respondents because the two numbers can differ
dramatically.
