Baseline Monitoring – Staff Travel Surveys
• Administered via iTRACE system.• Significant time spent contacting/convincing
companies willing to participate.• Four companies undertook staff surveys (AGFA, BSI,
Audi and Carillion)• Existing survey data provided also obtained (GSK,
BSkyB, TVU and Chiswick Park).• Current low response rate to iTRACE surveys (still
open).• Robust data will help to identify appropriate
initiatives and to measure to take forward. ANY DATA IS STILL WELCOME!
Suggestions for increased uptake and responses in future also welcome
