Details
The analysis of the National Travel Survey for 2020 shows disabled adults (aged 16 years and over) in England:
- made on average 28% fewer trips
- travelled 44% fewer miles than non-disabled adults
Both disabled and non-disabled adults rely predominantly on car travel. It accounts for around 3 in 5 trips for both groups. However, around a third of the trips made by disabled adults where car was the main mode were as a passenger, whereas for non-disabled adults around a fifth were as a passenger.
The statistics in this release have been impacted by the national restrictions implemented from March 2020 onwards in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
