The online travel to work survey was carried out in
June. The results show continued improvement with sustainable
travel increasing from 29.6% to 32.5% from 2006 to 2007. This
is an increase of 4.7% since 2005. Organisations based in the
larger urban areas have less than 70% respondents travelling to
work by car. This compares with organisations whose offices
are mainly in smaller urban or rural areas where the modal share
travelling by car ranges from 76% to 90%.
BT, Willis and CSD have the highest proportion of sustainable
travelling rather than the local authorities and Suffolk Primary
Care Trust. There is an approximately 60/40 split of
respondents who travel more than 5 miles/under 5 miles to their
place of work.
