A University of Michigan study of 618 adults younger than 40 found that 37 percent of respondents say they don't have enough time to get a driver's license. Younger respondents were more likely to cite busyness than older respondents.
The study also found that 32 percent of respondents said owning and maintaining a car is too expensive and 31 percent said although they don't have a license they're able to receive transportation from others.
Respondents to the study, who didn't have driver's licenses, were more likely to be unemployed and less educated than the general population.
Brandon Schoettle and Michael Sivak of the U-M Transportation Research Institute conducted the U-M study.
