Ground Transport Plan :: 9 Map 9.2 shows the distribution of existing and future passenger trips from greater metropolitan Melbourne to the airport. This is a broad overview of how passenger trips from each area of Melbourne are expected to evolve over the next 20 years. The figure shows the percentage of total trips coming from each area of Melbourne now and in the future. While passenger participation from rural and regional Victoria is lower in line with the state population distribution, it remains important and significant. Map 9.3 gives a graphic indication of passenger distribution. This data was collected during the latter years of the last decade as part of the Melbourne Airport Ground Travel Study and confirms the distribution aligns with population density. Map 9.3: Distribution of Origin and Destination Passenger Trips using Melbourne Airport DRAFT 9.3.2 Employment Melbourne Airport employees form a substantial component of the total transport demand. In 2013, around 14,300 employees generated approximately 23,000 vehicle trips per day. The number of employees supporting Melbourne Airport’s growth is expected to increase to approximately 23,000 by 2033, with modelling suggesting this would equate to 35,000 daily vehicle trips. Graph 9.5 shows the projected increases in employee traffic volumes between 2013 and 2033. MELBOURNE Airport Master plan 2013 – PRELIMINARY DRAFT : : 117

The existing and future projected mode share is shown in Graph 9.6, based on the current scenario of modal splits prevailing. While service planning needs to acknowledge this conservative position, it does not distract from the objective of enabling rail services to the airport. The rail link, along with enhanced bus services, will achieve a stronger mode shift. Graph 9.6: Existing Employees’ Travel Mode Share 1.4% Public transport 3.8% SkyBus 94.7% Car 118
