University of Sunderland - Travel Plan Final 200510-1

University of Sunderland Travel Plan Update
3.1.1.5 Journey to Work
Distance Travelled
University staff were asked how far they travel to work. The 2009 results show that a large
proportion of staff (62.8%) .8%) live 10 miles or less from the University and are therefore have a better
opportunity to be able to use public transport, walk or cycle to work. However, this figure is lower
than the result from 2007, when 65.8% of staff lived less than 10 miles from the University. This
shows staff in 2009 are travelling further to get to the University. Table 3.99
and Figure 3.5 below
show the results in detail.
