Although the 1971 Zelinsky paper, on which the Zelinsky Model is based, uses the term "mobility transition" in its title "The Hypothesis of the Mobility Transition", its contents appear to have rather little to do with the subject of this Wikipedia article, at least in the way that I adapted it from German Wikipedia. In short, Zelinsky tied the Demographic Transition Model to his own Migration Transition Model, and throughout his paper seems to use "mobility" more or less as a synonym of "migration", excluding so-called "circulation": all human movements other than relocation of one's permanent residence. Unfortunately, this article seems focused on circulation, and says nothing about permanent residence relocation. Adey et al. 2021 do cite Zelinsky in connection to mobility transition for no less than 4 pages, but Zelinsky has virtually nothing to say about things like traffic safety, sustainable transport, energy efficiency (apart from economic efficiency in general) or designing urban space. It's all about one-off migratory patterns rather than urban planning and transportation technology. It's almost a completely different topic. I'm keeping it in the text for now, but we should be cautious about whether it fits the scope of this article. So far, I've also not been able to demonstrate the link between early traffic safety and anti-car activism (Netherlands, Schneider) to urban spatial redesign (Knoflacher) and sustainability efforts. Although it seems evident that these separate developments eventually coalesced into what we know call "mobility transition", it's not clear when or how.
