Suburban mothers have a special position when facing transport disadvantages, since they are both socially expected to fulfil their gender roles and are limited while travel-ling due to morphological structures and transport conditions of their neighbourhoods. Todayʼs suburbia faces trends in society that were not present in the Fordist era. It also reflects various characteristics of the countries in which it operates. They are often different from traditional American suburbs. The aim of the paper is to provide a systematic review pertaining to the transport exclusion of suburban mothers consis-ting of two levels: a general overview of wider connections and contexts related to the topic; and a critical review of studies focusing specifically on suburban mothers and their transport behaviour and/or exclusion. This review adds to the literature by identi-fying research gaps and limitations of analysed papers, introducing possible future directions of the research, and proposing a concrete steps for how to design future studies differently to obtain findings reflecting the current social setting. Future re-search should consider not only the transport-related decision-making processes of mothers, but also their value orientations and new trends in a society (e. g. the home office era and changing views on the family arrangements), all of these using a combi-nation of quantitative and qualitative data while not omitting any travel modes or socio-economic classes of mothers.
