This study produced a comprehensive topic report on
long distance commuting in Scotland for the Scottish Executive, predominantly
using available data from the Scottish Household Survey (SHS) and
2001 Census and The Transport Model for Scotland (TMfS). The analysis
and reporting covered: the geographic distribution of current long
distance commuting, by mode; analysis of trends in long distance
commuting in Scotland; understanding the circumstances, characteristics,
behaviour and attitudes on the long distance commuter through focus
groups and analysis of SHS data; quantifying the impact of long distance
commuting on the Scottish transport network including traffic levels
and congestion, environmental impacts and public transport patronage
and revenue; and consideration of the relationships between long-distance
commuting and relevant current and future Scottish Government policy.
