Lift 2009 survey results show significant reduction in single occupancy staff vehicles.The results of the 2009 Lift follow up survey confirm the success of the airport travel plan with a 14% reduction in staff driving to work alone (achieved in just three years). Martin Fryer Sustainability Advisor, who manages the programme, is delighted with the results. "We do monitor the travel plan and were quietly confident we were influencing travel behaviour but a 14% shift in just three years is remarkable. These latest results also show an increase in airport workers using public transport. This has occurred over the past two years, a clear indication that the existing Airbus and 375 services and the new 380 service are providing a real alternative for some staff." The survey, undertaken in July, was managed by the Travelwise Team at Auckland Regional Transport Authority (ARTA). It follows a standard format enabling benchmarking of travel plans across the Auckland region. Clearly Lift is a top performer! |
