We have updated our transport insights document for Q2 2024 – available in slide pack and pdf formats on this page: Transport Data Insights
Headlines from Q2 2024:
- Total Park & Ride passenger numbers continue to exceed pre-COVID levels – sitting at 25% above the volumes seen in June 2019.
- Vehicular flows on the strategic road network are just above pre-COVID levels (+5% overall compared to June 2019).
- Local road vehicular flow continues to sit below pre-COVID levels (-10% compared to June 2019).
- Multi-storey car park use remains at 18% below pre-COVID levels.
- Local cycling flows are 18% below pre-COVID levels, which is a downturn the previous update. It is possible that unseasonal weather in June 2024 has contributed to this.
- Retail footfall in central Cambridge is 3% below pre-COVID levels, and 5% below this time last year (June 2023).
Context: each quarter, the transport sub-section of Cambridgeshire County Council’s Policy & Insight Team publish a slide pack which seeks to summarise how transport and mobility is recovering / has recovered from the impacts of COVID-19.
This includes metrics relating to strategic road usage, local road usage, footfall levels, air quality, car park usage and levels of active travel.
