“A new study by the University of Michigan's Transportation Research Institute reveals members of the Millennial Generation are driving a lot less than their foreparents, which leaves us wondering: Where are all the youngsters doing their "coming of age" activities?
The findings show car licensing has steadily decreased over the past few decades. The proportion of 20- to 24-year-olds driving from 1983 to 2014 has fallen from 91.8% to 76.7%. Other notable conclusions include a consistent increase in licensing for 45- to 69-year-olds from 1983-2008, after which the numbers begin to decline. And the proportion of drivers 70 and older between 1983 and 2011 steadily increased too.
A sharing economy rife with Ubers and Vias and Lyfts (oh, my!) has provided millennials with transport options their parents and grandparents didn't have, meaning driving is no longer a necessity for those who don't naturally take to it.”
