    Description

    Accessible tables and improved quality

    As part of the Analysis Function Reproducible Analytical Pipeline Strategy, processes to create all National Travel Survey (NTS) statistics tables have been improved to follow the principles of Reproducible Analytical Pipelines (RAP). This has resulted in improved efficiency and quality of NTS tables and therefore some historical estimates have seen very minor change, at least the fifth decimal place.

    All NTS tables have also been redesigned in an accessible format where they can be used by as many people as possible, including people with an impaired vision, motor difficulties, cognitive impairments or learning disabilities and deafness or impaired hearing.

    If you wish to provide feedback on these changes then please contact us.

    Description

    Please note that following the release of National Travel Survey 2012, the following publication may contain information that subsequently has been revised.

    The National Travel Survey presents information on personal travel in Great Britain during 2011. It contains the latest results and trends on how and why people travel with breakdowns by age, gender and income. It also contains trends in driving licence holding; school travel; and concessionary travel.

    On 13 December 2012, 2011 NTS results were published in 45 tables. The remaining tables contain data up to 2010 only. The 2012 NTS results will be published in July 2013 and will contain an update of all tables with both 2011 and 2012 data.

    Main results

    In 2011:

    • residents of Great Britain made an average of 958 trips per person and travelled 6,826 miles.
    • the average trip length was 7.1 miles
    • by purpose, most of the decline in overall trips rates between 1995 and 2011 can be accounted for by a fall in shopping and visiting friends
    • trips by car (as a driver or passenger) accounted for 64% of all trips made and 79% of distance travelled
    • on average, females make more trips than males, but males travel much further each year
    • 79% of males and 65% of females had a full driving licence
    • concessionary travel pass take-up was 79% of those eligible (82% of females and 76% of males)

    Between 1995 and 2011, overall trips rates fell by 12%. Trips by private modes of transport fell by 13% while public transport modes increased by 3%. Walking trips saw the largest decrease.

    Since 1995, the average number of car driver trips by men has fallen by 18% and average distance travelled fell by 16%, while car driver trips and distance travelled by women increased by 11% and 23% respectively. Men still drive nearly twice as many miles per year than women.

    Further information including the technical report, standard error estimates for 2009 and the UKSA assessment can be found at the National Travel Survey page.

    Description

    A number of files in the statistical data set pages accompanying this release were published prematurely in error for a brief period, due to a technical problem. These files were removed from the website as soon as the error became known.

    The NTS contains the latest results and trends on how and why people travel with breakdowns by age, gender and income. It also contains trends in driving licence holding; school travel; and concessionary travel.

    Update - 19 September 2013

    An error has been found in the data processing and calculation of household income quintiles. This error affects the NTS 2012 Statistical Release and tables NTS0703 to NTS0705. The error has been corrected and the affected Statistical Release and tables have been revised. We apologise for this error and any inconvenience caused by it.

    Main results

    Over the long term, trip rates increased until the mid-1990s, but have since fallen back to the 1970s level. In 2012, the average person made 954 trips per year compared to 956 in 1972/73 and 1,086 in 1995/97.

    In 2012, the average distance travelled was 6,691 miles which is 49% higher than in 1972/73, but 4% lower than in 1995/97. Average trip length was 7 miles.

    Since 1995/97, trips by private modes of transport fell by 14% while public transport modes increased by 2%. Walking trips fell by 27%.

    Most of the decline in overall trips rates between 1995/97 and 2012 is due to falls in shopping, visiting friends and commuting purposes.

    In 2012, trips by car (as a driver or passenger) accounted for 64% of all trips made and 78% of distance travelled.

    On average, females make more trips than males, but males travel much further each year. The average number of car driver trips and distance travelled by men is falling while those by women are increasing.

    Concessionary travel pass take-up was 79% of those eligible (82% of females and 74% of males); ranging from 66% in rural areas to 88% in London.

    People in the highest household income quintile group made 28% more trips than those in the lowest income quintile and travelled nearly 3 times further.

    Estimated average annual car mileage was 8,200 miles.

    England
    Description

    Cars and vans were the most popular mode of transport for commuting purposes in England. In 2019, car and van drivers travelled an average of 782 miles per person per year, roughly three times the distance travelled by those using surface rail as a means of commuting. In Great Britain overall, the car was used by more than two thirds of commuters, by far the majority of those travelling to work. In the past three years, the popularity of the car was unchallenged.

    Train commutes the longest

    The average commuting time for those travelling via rail was an hour, which suggested that those using rail tended to do so when needing to traverse greater distances. By comparison, the average car commute was 26 minutes long in 2017.

    Company cars have greatest annual mileage

    The greatest commuting mileage of car drivers was covered by those driving company vehicles. In 2018, a company car user drove nearly four times the distance someone using a private car travelled.

    Description

    Dataset population: Workplace population

    Daytime/workday population

    England and Wales (Workday Population)

    Workday population is where the usually resident population is re-distributed to their places of work, while those not in work are recorded at their usual residence.

    The workday population of an area is defined as all usual residents aged 16 and above who are in employment and whose workplace is in the area, and all other usual residents of any age who are not in employment but are resident in the area. People who work mainly at or from home or do not have a fixed place of work are included in their area of their usual residence. The following population groups are excluded from the workday population of an area:

    • Those living in England and Wales but working in Scotland, Northern Ireland, outside the UK or on offshore installations,
    • Those with a place of work in England and Wales but who are not usually resident in England and Wales, and
    • Short-term residents

    England and Wales (Workplace Population)

    Workplace population is where the usually resident population is re-distributed to their main place of work, but those not working are excluded.

    Distance travelled to place of work

    The distance in kilometres between a person's residential postcode and their workplace postcode, measured in a straight line.

    Derived distances that result in a distance travelled that exceeds 1200km are treated as invalid and a value is imputed. A distance travelled of 0.1km indicates that the workplace postcode is the same as the residential postcode.
