The main objective of this paper is to highlight teenagers' driving behavior and travel patterns to school and after-school activities and investigate the factors that affect the mode choice for these trips. Teenagers' daily travel behavior (to school and outside school), driving behavior, culture and values, perceptions and attitudes, socio-economic characteristics, activities and social networking are examined. A case study on high school students' travel and driving behavior is developed for the island of Chios in Greece. Analysis of the data collected demonstrates that teenagers prefer to use motorized vehicles, either as drivers or as passengers. Also, the model estimation explains that students' activities, personal allowance and involvement in traffic accidents affect travel behavior. The findings of this research are discussed in relation to measurements for increasing active travel to school, safety awareness and change of travel and driving culture among high school students.
