Departments: Public Transport

Volume 462: debated on Tuesday 10 July 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what estimate her Department has made of the number of its staff using public transport to commute. (147344)

An estimate covering the full Department is not currently available, however the most recent survey of our London HQ buildings indicated that 92 per cent. of staff in the London HQ travel to work by cycling, walking or via public transport. The remaining 8 per cent. used a car or motorbike to travel to work.

DfT has plans to carry out new staff surveys as part of a development of site specific travel plans, which are due to be finalised by April 2008.
