Black and ethnic minority travel needs in London

Report

In this paper the researchers investigate the travel needs of black and ethnic minotrities in London, to discover what specific needs they have which are met or not met by the public transport system. They have analysed the 1987-88 survey of Travel needs of Blacks and Ethnic Minorities, commissioned by the London Strategic Policy Unit (LSPU). It is the first time that this survey is analysed due to LSPU being abolished in 1988. The survey undertaken by LSPU is the first survey in this country looking specifically at the travel needs of black and other ethnic minority people. The survey was planned by LSPU in consultation with 110 community and voluntary groups. The main indicators that have been selected for analysis in this paper are (i) residential location, (ii) car availability, (iii) economic activity, (iv) trip making and (v) personal safety.
