We have updated our transport insights document for Q4 2024 – available on this page: Transport Data Insights.
Headlines from Q4 2024:
• Total Park & Ride passenger numbers continue to exceed pre-COVID levels. Volumes are now 18% above those seen in December 2019.
• Vehicular flows on the strategic road network are now 8% above pre-COVID levels; with the M11 continuing to see a particularly strong recovery (+20%).
• Vehicular flows on the local road network are 15% below pre-COVID levels; but only 1% below this time last year (December 2023).
• Multi-storey car park usage in Cambridge (-11%) remains below 2019 levels, despite the November re-opening of Park Street Car Park. This may partly account for the large increase in P&R usage.
• Retail footfall in central Cambridge is 13% below pre-COVID levels, but 2% above this time last year (December 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.
