Transport Direct

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment has been made of the impact of the Transport Direct portal on journey decisions, including modal shift.
Answer

The portal service includes a self-completion feedback questionnaire that has been designed to form part of the independent evaluation framework for the portal. The analysis of the first 1,002 forms (December 2005) indicates that:"64 per cent. of users who responded indicated a change of original travel mode preference for at least part of the journey.""In 33 per cent. of cases the respondent had made the journey previously and of these 51 per cent. indicated a change in original mode preference."
