KPI No. EC: I: T: 4A Type: Advanced Type: Sustainable

Definition / The percentage of people using various forms of transportation to travel to work
Description

Rationale / Passenger transport mode share refers to the percentage of passenger journeys or
Interpretation / trips by the main mode of transport and is typically reported through travel surveys.
Benchmarking
Since traffic congestion is generally highest during the time when people are
travelling to and from work, collecting data during these periods is most relevant to
initiate actions to reduce congestion.

Cities should report on the modes of public transportation, personal vehicles,
bicycles, walking, and paratransit going to and from work.
An improving trend and higher values for public and more sustainable options are
considered positive.
