a) 36% of respondents made a short trip up to one kilometre in an "average 24-hour day" during the survey period. 74% of the trips made by these respondents were by active mode (i.e. walking/cycling). (The comparative figures in the 2004 survey were 39% and 74% respectively).
b) 71% of respondents made a short trip between one and two kilometres in an "average day" during the same time period. However, only 27% of the trips made by these respondents were by active mode. (The comparative figures in the 2004 survey were 60% and 19% respectively).
c) The "net" result converts to 89% of respondents made any short trip up to two kilometres in an "average day". 42% of the total short trips made were by active mode. (The comparative figures in the 2004 survey were 81% and 39% respectively).
These results indicate that active mode travel has remained consistently high for short trips up to 1 kilometre. Significant gains have been made with the slightly longer trips between 1 and 2 kilometres; active mode travel now accounts for one-in-four of these trips.| Publisher(s): | Greater Wellington Regional Council |
