The University conducts regular surveys of both staff and student travel to monitor progress towards travel plan targets and to help identify priorities for action and investment.
It should be noted that as a result of methodological changes to the travel survey and analysis (inclusion of updated travel options and weighting of data to better represent commuting patterns of part-time staff), the complete data sets before and after 2007 are not wholly comparable, but the overall trends for the main travel modes may be considered robust.
During the pandemic, the University did not conduct a comprehensive staff travel survey, however it did continue to participate in the Travelwest Travel to Work survey. This data can be viewed below.
The annual Travel to Work survey takes place in March and covers employer organisations in Bristol, Bath & North East Somerset, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.
