Access to employment by public transport (and other specified modes) (working age population) (44) Metric type
- Help text
- This indicator measures the percentage of people of economically active age (defined as 16 to 64 in line with the 2001 Census definition) with access within a reasonable time to more than 500 jobs by public transport, cycling and/or walking.
The indicator is calculated by The Department for Transport (DfT) as part of the Core Accessibility Indicators and it weights the basic travel time to employment with a "deterrence factor" (which reflects people's willingness to make long journeys to access employment, e.g. the further away the employment location, the less likely an individual would be to travel to it).
Separate indicators are calculated for public transport/walking and cycling. The overall indicator is then calculated by weighting the two together using National Travel Survey figures for modal split.
This was previously reported as NI 176.
