Abstract
This chapter explores the implications of the intervention programmes under the TBM programme among the adolescents in the aspects of the purpose of the travel, time allocation for daily activities, hourly trip frequencies, choice of transport for travel, travel distance, travel duration and carbon emissions from vehicles. It should be noted that the discussed findings on the implications of the intervention programmes were based on a short-term period only. The implementation of intervention programmes were found to significantly reduce the amount of carbon emission from vehicles during the weekdays. As for the weekend travel, the adolescents that received motivation and incentives reported significant reduction in the amount of carbon emission compare to the other intervention groups.
