• What mode of transport staff use to travel between the University campuses; and
• If staff travel by car between the University campuses, what would encourage them to use
the bus to travel between the campuses

staff stated that they travelled between University campuses on a daily basis, with 10% stating
they travel several times per week. 51% of respondents travel between the campuses less than
