MVA has been commissioned by The Greater Manchester
Passenger Transport Authority/Executive, Salford City Council, Trafford
Metropolitan Borough Council and Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce
to conduct an accessibility study in Trafford Park and Salford Quays.
The study aims to identify barriers to accessing employment
opportunities in the Trafford Park and Salford Quays area. As part
of the study, MVA will undertake a survey and interviews with employers,
qualitative research with job seekers in both Salford and Trafford,
interviews with job seeker agencies and a survey of existing local
public transport users. They will also review existing linkages
to the area via all modes of transport (including cycling and walking)
and the output will include the identification of suitable transport
and non-transport measures to help address the problems identified.
The study is expected to report in May 2006.
