Respondents
From 2007 to 2009, there has been a 4.4 percentage point increase in staff car drivers and a 1.8
percentage point increase in staff car users. In addition, public ublic transport usage is down by 22.7
percentage points. However, it is important to note that this is set against background traffic
growth in the Tyne ne & Wear Metropolitan area between 2005 and 2007 of 3% for car use and a 3%
decrease in public transport usage. TThere
here has been an increase in cyclists (0.5 percentage points)
and walkers (0.5 percentage points points), ), although these increases are slight and sho should therefore be
treated with a degree of caution.
2009 staff taff responses have also been split by campus to highlight any differences between the two
campus locations. As 90% of staff work working at the City Campus or St Peter’ ’s Campus, these two
locations have been used as subcategories for this analysis. Results are shown in Table 3.3.
